Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS

Ms Grainne Morrison:

Yes, there has to be some form of regulation in place in every part of healthcare. There is HIQA and there are governance and regulatory bodies. Only 1% of mental health services in Ireland are regulated. In our opinion it has to be a priority. We must listen to Dr. Susan Finnerty turning around and saying she cannot give parents confidence that there is a safe and effective, best practice service in CAMHS. As parents, what do we do? We are not TDs. We cannot push this.
