Is Mental Health Service better placed in Dept of Health?

Sunday, 5 February 2012 00:00

An exercise has been launched to determine which part of Government is the best organisational location for the Island's Mental Health Service.

The MHS has been with the Department of Social Care since 2010's Government restructuring.

There has more recently been discussion about if it would be better placed within the Department of Health.

The review team are welcoming responses from the services customers and carers regarding how the structure could best meet patients' needs.

Views should be submitted to MHSReview@gov.im.
