Joint Committee On Health
Mental Health Commission Interim Report on CAMHS: HSE
Mr. Jim Ryan:
Lucena is an excellent service, as are many of our own services, as acknowledged by the Deputy earlier. One of the benefits which Lucena has had is a mental health information system which it developed through the St. John of God Order over a number of years. This was acknowledged by the commission in its report. The benefit this system provides in many ways is that it gives an opportunity for the tracking of the services that are being delivered. That is something that clearly we completely want and we have already taken steps, having received the report. In fact, prior to that, where we are putting in a system which is also going to work across CAMHS.
One of the major advantages Lucena Clinic Services had was that it had that system in place over a number of years.
