I will read some of what the Minister of State, Deputy Butler said at this time last year. She said:

I have visited many CAMHS teams the length and breadth of the country in the past six months and was really struck by a young girl I met in Dundalk who came along with her mother. She had been in the care of CAMHS for four years, was almost 18 and was just exiting. She told me she had 96 appointments over four years. She had been seen every fortnight for four years.

How untypical or typical – untypical I would imagine – would this be in the view of the witnesses?
