Anne Rabbitte (Galway East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am waiting for two answers, one in respect of a child who presents in a crisis and how he or she can get the acute intervention with a CAMHS team. Second, I addressed a question to Professor O'Connor on her earlier contribution, which has already been identified, and why we have not delivered on it. The roadmap, A Vision for Change, was set out in 2004, but looking at what has been put in place in terms of the CAMHS teams, not one of the teams at this time is above 58.7% of the fully resourced team envisaged in that brilliant document, A Vision for Change, and this happens to be in the CHO 3 area. The HSE has approached the implementation of the policy in the wrong way. The HSE did not put the teams in place before it decided to withdraw services. The HSE withdrew services, such as St Brigid's psychiatric hospital in Ballinasloe, and funnelled them into Galway or Roscommon hospitals, which were not prepared, and then it fell back on the GP services to deal with mental health. I want to understand what the expert group on mental health policy is taking from its document to address mental health?
