Mr. Bernard Gloster:

On support for children who require integrated services from the HSE, CAMHS, primary care facilities, Tusla or disability facilities - very often all of them - members would have seen the child care law reporting project last week. The latter shows how challenging it is to make all those services work together. In the latter half of last year, the HSE established a specific child and youth mental health programme. We now have a dedicated national clinical lead specifically for children as opposed to just mental health, which was predominantly adults. We have separated adults and children. We have a dedicated full-time resource driving that programme. The resourcing of the CAMHS teams has increased, is increasing and that is continuing. There is a recruitment challenge in that.
