Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Ms Grainne Morrison:

As we laid out earlier, that goes on, possibly, from two years of age up to 12 or 13 years of age. You can pay up to €10,000 - that is for an assessment and therapy. It will start off with speech and language therapy and will include OT, an educational psychologist, a clinical psychologist and a private psychiatrist. Then CAMHS will say it has to reassess your child because it does not know what kind of assessment the child has had. You could have rolled out €10,000.
