Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE

Dr. Amanda Burke:

The Deputy is correct, in that it would not be uncommon for someone with ADHD, but this would be a targeted audit and we would be deliberately picking young people who had already been prescribed medication. A significant proportion of the children attending CAMHS are not prescribed medication. We will be targeting those who have been prescribed medication to determine whether it is appropriate.
