Amnesty International Ireland’s submission to the Independent Monitoring Group

November 2009
The Independent Monitoring Group (IMG) of A Vision for Change produces a report annually analysing the progress of implementation of the policy. Ahead of the report’s 2010 publication AI submitted its comments to the IMG, looking at the lack of implementation of A Vision for Change in two key areas; the failure to deliver on the vision of comprehensive and community-based care and the failure to deliver social inclusion for people who have experienced a mental health problem.
