Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS

Ms Grainne Morrison:

We are not the HSE. We have not got corporate governance. We do not know how these structures work or whatever else but I would say that CAMHS has to be reformable. For our children, grandchildren and whatever else there has to be some form of reform. Reform comes from legislation so we need legislation to monitor the mental health sector. Then you have accredited bodies. Health accredited bodies will go in and best practice starts then. I hope CAMHS can be reformed.
