Waiting lists for mental health supports in Monaghan in a "dangerous position"

Waiting lists for mental health supports in Monaghan are said to be at a "dangerous position".

Sinn Fein TD Matt Carthy says we are seeing a localised consequence of national scandal, with at least one person in the county waiting 75 weeks for a primary care psychology service.

The Government announced last week an additional €10 million for mental health supports, as part of its response to Covid-19.

Deputy Carthy says political intervention is needed.
