Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion

Dr. Amanda Burke:

That particular area has faced particular challenges in recruitment. We have had to put in interim solutions, particularly for consultant cover. There are a number of systems in place to provide consultant cover on site. One of the main areas identified by us and the Mental Health Commission is that it is much safer to work in clinical directorates as opposed to in isolated silos. We are advertising and interviewing for a clinical director for that region to ensure consistency and assurance in the area.
