Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Ms Sonia Magaharan:

There has been a change. There was a case where children had to come into CAMHS to get resources. That changed last year. A child can now get resources in school based on a NEPS assessment or if the child has been seen privately by someone who says that the child has dyslexia or some such. The children can get the resources and do not need to come to CAMHS if it relates to an education issue. That can be provided by the Department of Education and Skills.
