Seanad Public Consultation Committee
Children's Mental Health Services: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. Jim Ryan:
As I think Mr. Gibson mentioned earlier, a protocol has been published in the past six weeks which outlines the interagency workings between the HSE and Tusla. Within the HSE, that means mental health, social care and primary care. We were aware that there were some young people who could fall between the various bureaucratic cracks. Trying to put the young person at the centre of decision-making can sometimes be difficult because of different legislative requirements. I take the point on board, however. We have to put the young person at the centre of the decision-making.
