Dr. Susan Finnerty:

I looked at rehabilitation services last year. The provision of rehabilitation services are very important for about 14% of people who suffer from serious mental illness so that they may live in the community and reach their potential. Some CHO areas do not have a rehabilitation service. What services there are are scant to say the least. That means people do not have access to that essential service and they are languishing in highly supervised residences and acute units. That example is quite stark. I looked at the child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, two years ago. Its staffing is only 60% of what it should be. In some areas there are good, accessible CAMHS and in other places there are not.
