Says government showing detached approach
The Regional Group of TDs are hitting out over the failure to include Mental Health and Clinical Nurse Specialists in the new Covid-19 Advisory Group.
Half of the new team were also members of NPHET, following the confirmation of the 20-person team on Friday night.
The group says excluding mental health, nursing and midwifery from an advisory panel that advises Government, shows a detached approach to this pandemic.
Galway East Deputy Sean Canney says referral for mental health issues soared during the pandemic and experts should not be omitted:
