Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Rights-Based Care for People with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. David Walsh:

I have one last comment that relates specifically to CAMHS. We came to the conclusion some time ago that CAMHS needed a dedicated space for itself within the structure so that it gets the attention towards development that it needs. That is why my two colleagues beside me are here, Dr. Burke as national clinical lead and Mr. Kelly as assistant national director specifically for CAMHS. Their task, along with that of myself and others, is to drive out a development plan for CAMHS and to acquire the necessary investment to develop those services and bring them up to the level where they need to be, with a consistent approach across the country to a higher standard.
