It's time there are sufficient supports put in place for people suffering with mental health illnesses.... there's not enough in this country. I have unfortunately lost 2 siblings to suicide.

I was in the gallery when this motion was put forward and it was heartbreaking listening to the stories where help was sought and not given. There is a great need for 24/7 intervention I can't believe this wasn't passed. Our government with their heads in the sand as usual

A decent mental health service is badly needed in this country rather than the outdated service now in place that just throws strong addictive medicines at u without helping with the real issues too many people with this service just existing in a chemical haze

Anybody trapped in their own illness and pain should be able to reach out for help at any time of the day or night. Because the decision to take your own life can happen any time of the day or night.

As a parent of a young adult with mental health problems I cannot stress the importance of this unit enough. This needs to be accessible on a nationwide basis 24/7.

This needs to happen asap to help stop the number of lives been lost to suicide each year. If this was Road Traffic deaths there would be a commission and extra policing because they can make money out of it.
