Dr. Edel McGinnity:

Dr. Gibney mentioned earlier that the hospitals are structured to suit themselves with all their validation letters. Many services are like that. Our patients get told many times they are not eligible for this service or they do not fit into that category and we get that on behalf of our patients, most notably with child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS. It can be very difficult to get a patient seen there even though one might have a lot of experience with the problems. Accessibility is key for people. There are not that many services that people can go to every day. It is a very precious and good thing but it means that we have no control over the average morning. One could see ten or 20 patients. It could be just crazy and then one gets those telephone calls and it is all over the place.
