Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion
Mr. Donan Kelly:
We have 13 Jigsaw teams across the country. As Mr. Walsh alluded to, there is a lot of work to do on the broader integrated services that deliver services to children and young people. It is not only about the statutory CAMHS services but also our voluntary community social enterprise partners and early intervention as well as the crisis services at the more acute end of the spectrum such as the CAMHS care hubs that we mentioned, hospital liaison teams and other home treatment services. It is a significant programme of work that will require investment over time to fully deliver an overarching child and youth model that wraps around young people's and families' needs.
