Joint Committee On Health
Mental Health Commission Interim Report on CAMHS: HSE
Frances Black (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I have a couple of questions. I hope that is okay. This morning's session has been really informative. I sincerely thank the witnesses for coming in. I will just raise a couple of things. Some of them have been touched on already but I would like a little more detail on them. They relate to movement within the service and the difficulties in recruiting and retaining staff. That has come up in the committee a lot. It seems to be a very significant problem in light of economic factors, pay that may be inadequate, the cost of living, housing and so on. I have a specific interest in burnout within the services. Is there anything the HSE can do in that regard? Along with economic factors and the housing issues - we talked about Linn Dara - is it one of the causes of movement? Is there a lot of movement happening because of burnout?
