Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion

Mr. David Walsh:

There is definitely a need for ongoing investment. I mentioned in the opening statement that the current budget for CAMHS services is approximately €137 million out of a total mental health budget of approximately €1.2 billion. I do not have the exact figure but it is in or around that. We need to continue to invest for many years to get to the point where we can provide the sort of service we aspire to.
