Mr. Jim Ryan:

As the Deputy will be aware, the service that is being provided in the Dún Laoghaire area is run through the Lucena clinic in St. John of God Hospital. Different parts of the country will have different recruitment challenges, and the south Dublin area has previously been challenging for us from the perspective of recruiting, particularly for allied health professionals, AHPs. That can be down to many issues such as economic issues etc. Looking at our A Vision for Change numbers, throughout the country we are at about 65% of what was set out in 2006 and we have more than 70 teams in place. The recruitment challenges have been most strenuous in specialist areas and CAMHS is one of those. Dr. Doody might comment more specifically on that because he is involved in running a unit on a day-to-day basis.
