As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible. In relation to Budget 2026, as occurs each year following the Budget, discussions will now take place with the HSE on details relating to specific service initiatives in the context of preparing the HSE Service Plan 2026, including that for Mental Health.
