Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Mr. Michael Walsh:

My reporting arrangement changed at Christmas. A clinical nurse manager, CNM, 3 and an assistant director of nursing, ADON, were appointed to our service at Christmas. Neither has any training in or knowledge of child psychiatry. However, if statistics on how many people are in child psychiatry were being compiled, they would be included as managers of child psychiatry.
