Ms Grainne Morrison:

I will bring the Chairman back to one point about clinicians in CAMHS. Many of us have met the most excellent clinicians who have been a guiding light for us but who then, unfortunately, have to leave the service because they are burnt out or tired.

As for the courts, there are families who go to the courts and through the courts but that is a harrowing task as well. If one has a child going through a mental health crisis, or is in need of medication which is gold standard for ADHD, or who is autistic and cannot get a service, or a child with an eating disorder, OCD, anxiety or depression then the family is already dealing with that and has the heightened level of taking on a case against the HSE, which is no mean feat. It is astronomical. They are very brave people doing this.
