Sinn Féin has been responding to the Mental Health Commission's Annual Report.
Mental health treatment should be based on need, not the ability to pay.
They're the words of Longford-Westmeath TD Sorca Clarke, responding to the results of the Mental Health Commission's Annual Report.
The HSE's CHO8, which includes Laois, Offaly and Westmeath, scored the worst for providing individual care plans, with a compliance rate of 16.7%
