Question from Deputy Micheál Carrigy - PQ 74714-25

To ask the Minister for Health the reason An Garda Síochána continues to be the default point of contact for families experiencing mental health crises involving vulnerable adults; what engagement has taken place between her Department, the HSE and the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, to develop health-led alternatives; and when families can expect access to dedicated mental health crisis response teams nationwide; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
