Seanad Public Consultation Committee

Children's Mental Health Services: Discussion

10:00 am

Dr. Glenda Kavanagh:

One could argue that point. I feel that is the training we have had to take responsibility for these young people. One might ask other disciplines if they would prefer it to be led another way and that is a discussion that could be had. I think it works well because that is the training we have had. It is not merely the medical piece but also the management of the team which represents a good percentage of our time. That is what our training has led us to do. I think the answer is "yes" but the Senator might find other people who will say "no".
