Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021

9:30 am

Mr. Paul Reid:

It should not. In respect of the issues that arose in south Kerry child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, which we touched on earlier, we are looking at all processes in respect of CAMHS all across the country. We are looking at whether they are compliant with regard to prescription and oversight and the revised standards put in place in 2019. That is an audit we have put in place. I have no doubt it will address some of the issues the Deputy has raised right across country and determine how to do this, what the proper escalation measures should be and how people can have the experience the Deputy has just relayed, which should not happen. I am not trying to reference that case but we will follow it up with the Deputy.
