Mr. Gary Kiernan:

The Mental Health Commission welcomes the support from the Minister to develop CAMHS standards. We will be expediting those and putting systems in place to consult children and their families around the country to do that. I agree that much of the detail on how the consultation with children needs to happen has to be through some of the regulations, standards and codes of practice that will sit under this Act. We will be supportive of any additional measures that support children's voices being more loudly heard as part of this process.
