Intent: due to the scale of the psychiatric nursing staffing crisis, mental health services must be exempt from the Pay and Numbers Strategy. We believe that mental health services have been largely abandoned and excluded from staffing increases over the last five years. This view is supported by the fact that of the additional 23,000 staff employed in the HSE between 2019-2024, psychiatric nurses equated to less than 1% of these

Instead of impeding the recruitment and retention of nurses in mental health services, the HSE need to put measures in place to maximise the recruitment and retention of these dedicated professionals to maintain and develop services. This must be a health priority for the next governmentI am seeking your support in this matter and would appreciate meeting with you to expand on our concerns for mental health services.

Letter
The loss of these two services in St James and Linn Dara to the Community Health Organisation Area 7 region will have the knock-on effect of increasing demand for services in other parts of Dublin which in turn will put further pressure on remaining services and staff.
