Browne seeks clarification on actual figure for mental health budget

Confusion has arisen over the allocation of €659 million towards health in yesterdays budget.

Fiana Fail spokesperson on mental health James Browne is seeking clarification on the actual amount which will go to mental health. Speaking on Morning Mix Deputy Browne said last year there was a shortfall of €20 million between what was announced in budget 2017 for mental health and what was actually given. This year Deputy Browne is seeking assurance that the same won't happen again.
