Only 11 out of 176 approved mental health jobs have been filled in the last year.

The HSE figures were obtained by Fianna Fáil as part of a parliamentary question.

Despite approved funding of nearly 16 million euro, new staff have been hired for only 1 in 16 of the available positions since 2018.

Fianna Fáil's Mental Health Spokesperson, James Browne, says it's effecting people of all ages.
