Ombudsman for Children's Annual Report 2021: Office of the Ombudsman for Children

Dr. Niall Muldoon:

It has been run down. We do a lot of talking about CAMHS, but primary care is where we need to get it. From my point of view, it is important to have that availability of therapy in primary schools. That is going upstream and stopping things from developing badly. It is identifying children who may need further work, and then they need to go into primary care before they go to CAMHS. There is a gap there where we need to go upstream.
