Ms Karen O'Mahony:

Mine is one of many families in Cork whom this has happened to. Sean was put on medication at the age of six. He was monitored every three months for his weight, blood pressure and height, which is part of being overseen by CAMHS. GPs cannot do that because, obviously, they are not registered psychiatric professionals. It is now more than five years since Sean has seen any doctor. He is now 6 ft 2 in. and very big.

He is on the same level of medication and our doctor cannot interfere with that.
