Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Ms Grainne Morrison:

The other issue relates to situations where a child has ADHD and ASD. There will be children who have cross-over; the co-occurrence rate is approximately 50% to 70%. There is therefore a child who is going into CAMHS for medication management of ADHD but they will not be treated for their depression or anxiety in CAMHS. Therefore, the psychiatrists are not treating. They are sent back to CNDTs.
