We would like to pay tribute to our client Nancy Reilly who spoke outside court yesterday about changes needed to deal with mental health. We hope that this case will go some way towards improving training and standards in our mental health system.
She said “One thing Mark would want me to do, is to help other people, and so this has to be highlighted as an issue with the HSE. What we need is an open, honest conversation. One of the big failings is sending people to the emergency room. Emergency departments are not capable; they’re not trained to deal with this sort of thing,” she said.
