Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Youth Mental Health: Discussion

Dr. Joseph Duffy:

There was confirmation earlier this year that Tipperary would be the location for one of the new services and the agreement with the HSE is that it will be in place by the end of the first quarter next year. We agreed that we would focus on the service in Wicklow first. One of the big issues in providing a service, now that the resources are available, is finding premises. That is a big issue for us right across the country. In a number of areas we are finding it difficult to find premises of an appropriate size for an acceptable rent.
