Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion
Mr. David Walsh:
The Deputy is correct in saying that all of the issues in the area have not been fixed. Dr. Burke is describing how we are currently trying to cover services in that area. We also need to continue to recruit in a more targeted way in order to get people permanently into those positions. It is useful that in that area, there have been a number of other developments that support services in a broader way, including in mental health for those with intellectual disabilities and other areas. We need to continue to specifically recruit in a targeted way not only in that area but also in other pockets of the country where we have recruitment deficits.
