Joint Committee On Health

Mental Health Commission Interim Report on CAMHS: HSE

Mr. Jim Ryan:

We absolutely understand there is a need to accentuate and enhance the services in the CAMHS and general adult contexts for that time between the two six-month periods. There are times in which young people, and Dr. Burke and Dr. Niazi will say this, are kept in CAMHS. An example would be young people coming up to their leaving certificate examinations. The natural thing to do there would be to hold on until such time as they have gone through that. A very sensible approach is taken. This is an area, though, where we definitely have more work to do and I am not sure-----
