Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE

9:30 am

Dr. Amanda Burke:

That would have to be done by the local community health team. What we do not want to do is create a second waiting list. People have the assessment now and the parents ask whether they can have the treatment, and we say that we are sorry but they will have to wait to get into the CAMHS team. What we are doing at the moment as part of these assessments is trying to build up local capacity to take these assessments and treat them quickly within the areas. We will be phasing them in. CHO 7 will be part of it, but it is not going first.
