Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021

Mr. Paul Reid:

The key part of that recruitment is in the area of mental health, that is, in child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, adult mental health services and later years psychiatry services. I will let my colleague, Mr. Michael Fitzgerald, comment on the area that the Deputy referenced. However, we have had a real challenge with getting some of the specialists we require for mental health, as well as with retaining staff overall. It is a challenging service area. We have a significant budget and we have had some success throughout the year. I will let my colleague comment specifically on the CHO area that the Deputy has referenced.
