Mr. Jim Ryan:

I will respond in general terms. The Senator referred to the south Kerry CAMHS situation. Since then, as members are probably aware, we have initiated a number of reviews.

The Mental Health Commission is engaged in an audit of the 73 CAMHS teams and has been in two of the community healthcare organisations, CHOs. We are working with them on that. A medication audit has also commenced, with a pilot undertaken in four of our teams across the country. That is feeding into the wider audit that is happening over the next six months. We have two further initiatives ongoing, one of which is a stakeholder review that we have been running with University College Cork, UCC. The second is a review of the CAMHS operating guidelines. All of the teams have been asked for information, including Linn Dara community CAMHS. In summary, we have been engaging with the internal reviews as well as the review being conducted by the Mental Health Commission.
