Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Ms Hannah N? Ghiolla Mhairt?n:

We have ten key reforms but we also have 31 sub-reforms, so we are not trying to solely focus on the problem. We are trying to put forward solutions we think would bring the system up a notch and offer a safe system. Certain things probably need to be looked at beyond CAMHS, which is the interaction of CAMHS with other services like the CDNT. I am not sure whether some services should be merged. That would be a bigger overhaul. We focus very much on reforming CAMHS because we think there are some key things that can be done there but they need to be done urgently.
