Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE
Dr. Maura Young:
Locums were sought. It was not possible to get a locum until September 2020. There was a locum who came for a period but they left because of issues. They terminated their locum period after about six months. During the four-year period, we had a locum for approximately six months who then left. There were ongoing recruitment efforts made to fill those posts. On two occasions the posts were interviewed for. The post was accepted and then the applicant withdrew the acceptance. In the end, a locum was recruited into that post in September 2020.
