Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE

Mr. Damien McCallion:

To reinforce what Dr. Ní Bhriain said, we have seen progress on the waiting lists, which have reduced in terms of the percentage of children waiting more than 12 weeks and more than 12 months on foot of the early work from some of the investment this year. Bearing in mind that CAMHS is 2% of children, it is a small percentage but we have seen improvements in access for parents. There is still a long way to go, however, with regard to certain geographies.
