Thanks for this preview. However, concerned that, although psychologists and OTs are named here as MDT members, Speech & Language Therapists will be included in what they call ‘other key workers’. Sounding like a ‘broken record’ I know, but not for the want of trying! IASLT #slt

Department of Health some good points regarding autism but not sure that #sharingthevision addresses fully the access issues and specific needs of autistic people with mental health needs. Comments below, long tweet!

‘Disappointed’ is an understatement at the lack of specific mention in #sharingthevision of SLTs on Community & Forensic MH Teams in this ‘new’ strategy despite the welcome (if obvious) inclusion on CAMHS-ID & Adult-ID teams. Strategy falls far short of what’s needed! IASLT

Access to a range of ‘talking therapies’ is considered in #sharingthevision. But what about those who have language & communication difficulties who struggle to understand or be understood as part of their mental health difficulty? IASLT Jennifer Brophy Dr Caroline Jagoe 🌱

Hopefully IASLT response to recent HSE Talking Therapies Model of Practice will help to outline importance of SLT to support access for people with speech, language and communication needs Sinead Murphy

Family member in limbo re marriage next week. Why are all registry offices open & facilitating marriages while Longf/Roscom/Westmeath remain closed? Seems inequitable! Any info/advice would be appreciated🙏Stephen Donnelly Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar Mary Lou McDonald Helen McEntee TD
