Committee on Disability Matters
Inclusive Education for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Ciarán Cronin:
We advised her to go to the GP to get a referral to CAMHS. Referral was made to CAMHS, and she received a letter to say that the child would not be suitable for help from the CAMHS service and to refer back to the psychologist working with him in the CDNT, who no longer works there. It is terrible. They are standing in front of us, crying, and asking for help and we are saying that we do not know. It is so hard for parents to work in systems like that. As the Deputy said, they are ping-ponged back and forth. I am just able to say I do not know because it is so hard-----
