Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS
Ms Hannah N? Ghiolla Mhairt?n:
No. The only thing they have said which we have noticed in the past few months was that instead of autistic children going into CAMHS there might be psychiatric in-reach into the CDNTs. However, in the CDNTs, the rest of the staff are not mental health specialists. Therefore, they will not be getting the multi-disciplinary approach to mental health that is promised under the CAMHS operational guidelines. We are still therefore very much trying to get into CAMHS.
