Mental Health Commission

The Mental Health Commission regulates and inspects mental health services in Ireland and facilitates the mental health tribunal system. It appoints the panel members who sit on tribunals.

The Mental Health Act 2001 provided for its establishment, for mental health tribunals, and for an inspector of mental health services, in connection with the involuntary admission of people with mental disorders. S.I. No. 91/2002 appointed 5 April 2002 as the establishment day for Part 3 of that Act.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
