Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion

Dr. Amanda Burke:

I will come in here. In isolation it does not work well. That is why were are looking at the clinical directorate model so that we can share across teams. It is also important to colocate teams. For example, it can be difficult to get psychologists for talking therapy, so they can work across a number of teams for particular specialist therapies. It is important to view it as a collective rather than isolated teams because they do not work very well if they are denuded and there are only a couple of team members.
