There is no point in Mr. Ryan flippantly saying a person has been appointed on a temporary basis and is doing the work. I have been told in my constituency office on a weekly basis by the parents of young children who have tried to access CAMHS that they have been turned away, a situation that I am sure is replicated all over the country. Mr. Ryan has confirmed that a person has been appointed on a temporary basis. Why has no one been appointed on a permanent basis? Does the HSE have enough funding to recruit someone to the position on a permanent basis?
