Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Ms Sonia Magaharan:

We have an interim director of nursing who is new in the post. We meet weekly with all of the nurses working in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, CAMHS, in the Cork and Kerry region. We have meetings on peer support, training and education, and the director of nursing always comes to part of that meeting. There is a management component that they attend, and we have an opportunity at that meeting to raise concerns, whatever they may be.
