Dr. Susan Finnerty:

The UK system has difficulties in the same way as we do. It has difficulties with the recruitment of staff and building up teams. It also has difficulty in providing inpatient beds. At present, its main worry in all areas of mental health is the provision of out of area services, which also happens here. Somebody in Donegal would probably be provided a bed in Galway but it could be anywhere else. The child and adolescent mental health beds for people in Limerick are in Galway. It is a problem. It is probably not as vast as it is in the UK but it is a difficulty.
