Joint Committee On Health

Resourcing and the Provision of Services at the Linn Dara CAMHS Unit: Discussion

Mr. Jim Ryan:

I will start and then Dr. Doody will come in. One of the things I want to say is 94% of urgent cases are responded to within three days across the country and the 73 teams. The Chair may recall a couple of years ago there was an individual situation that happened that was tragic and that we responded to. We want to say that where a young person comes forward they are actually responded to very quickly, the vast bulk, because we are aware of the point the Chair made.

We also try to make sure that where information that will support parents in the meantime may be available, it can be made available immediately.

Dr. Doody wanted to come in on this issue.
