Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
Community Health Care Organisations: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
With respect, it is not a question that I might make a decision tomorrow to CAMHS X amount and adult services Y amount. It comes pre-determined by the posts already approved as the driver is 80% pay. If I have an approval in development posts this year for ten jobs and four of them are for CAMHS, the decision is made thereafter that 40% of the budget is for CAMHS.
