Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Workforce Planning in the Mental Healthcare Sector: Discussion
Dr. Susan Finnerty:
There is a co-ordination group that meets every Monday either by teleconference or in person. The group looks at who is waiting for an inpatient CAMHS bed and tries to match a CAMHS bed with the patient. Usually that is quite successful. The emergency is the problem, that is, the Friday or Saturday night when a young person is in distress and arrives at an emergency department and there is nowhere for the person to go.
