Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion

Mr. Donan Kelly:

Again, that is part of the triage process. Some of this is based on clinical understanding and interpretation of what is there at that time. Broadly, people work in the same way when they clinically triage cases, but there will be a natural variation dependent on need. Dr. Burke explained that there are nuances in the presentation of how a person is at a given time, which determine the level of urgency. A clinical decision is made by the particular team.
