Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Youth Mental Health: Discussion
Dr. Brendan Doody:
To take up a consultant post, the requirement is to be on the specialist register, which is either for the treatment of adults, or children and adolescents. For consultants coming from certain European countries, there can sometimes be an issue with their eligibility to be on the child specialist register. The major divide is between adults, and children and adolescents.
