Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion

Dr. Amanda Burke:

CAMHS hubs are a real alternative to inpatient care. Essentially, they are for young people who need enhanced, brief episodes of care so they do not have to go into inpatient units. We have five pilot CAMHS hubs at various stages of development. They are in CHOs 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8, with a plan to role them out nationally following evaluation.
