Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE

Ms Anne O'Connor:

Yes, there was a locum. The challenge is, certainly for other team members, these are all professions regulated by CORU in their own right. We are into all sorts of different professional discussions but when it comes to patient care and, again, Dr. Young can advise on this, the consultant is the de facto lead. It is not that simple, however, because of each profession. There are some people who attend services who will predominantly attend one of the other disciplines. They will not necessarily attend the consultant all the time. Dr. Young might want to comment on how that team worked.
