Mr. Michael Fitzgerald:

I started in this role as chief officer in July 2020 as we were reforming other services across Cork and Kerry, and as we are doing across all our community healthcare organisations. We are looking at the development of community healthcare networks, in particular, with 14 community healthcare networks to be stood up across the areas of Cork and Kerry. Any services, including child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, teams and adult teams, need to be realigned in that context. That makes for better local governance arrangements and local ownership for services in Cork and Kerry. I was going to start that process anyway but the report has certainly helped to guide us in a more concentrated area as it relates to CAMHS.
