The Independent Monitoring Group (IMG) acknowledges and is pleased to report some progress in the implementation of A Vision for Change (AVFC) in 2010. In respect of capital development, the IMG welcomes the opening of the new adult and child and adolescent mental health care in Dublin, Cork and Galway. The IMG also welcomes the closure or imminent closure of outdated services in Wexford, Dublin, Tipperary, Galway, Donegal and partial closure of services in Kerry, Carlow and Kilkenny. The IMG acknowledges that the impetus for some of the above closures resulted from conditions on registration set by the Mental Health Commission.
