Joint Committee On Health
Mental Health Commission Interim Report on CAMHS: HSE
Mr. Damien McCallion:
-----particularly in the community. This would be a system which would operate across all community services and we are currently going through the approval process with the Department to get to the point where we can go to tender for that as a solution right across the community. As Mr. Ryan mentioned, we are not waiting for that and we are expecting something back this week with regard to an interim system which could support services. Again, and Dr. Burke may wish to speak about this, it is very difficult in some of the teams. It is not the only factor and there are other factors, as the members said, which we need to address within the teams. Certainly, this would help the teams in managing their caseload and communicating with each other around that. IT systems would go towards that.
