Ms Grainne Morrison:

The transfer from CAMHS to adult mental health services is a bit rocky as well. There is a standard operating procedure that it should be a clear transfer over but a lot of our families are finding that they are being let down again. Either CAMHS has not sent over files or adult mental health services have not taken them on. Children who are on ADHD medication, which eight times of out ten they will need for the rest of their lives, are going periods of time without having any medication.
