Joint Committee On Health

Mental Health Commission Interim Report on CAMHS: HSE

Mr. Jim Ryan:

-----overall mental health concerns. The young people lost a follow-up in the major one in the mid-west. I do not think this was a particular issue there around the transfer aspect, but it is definitely an issue we have identified. In fact, the Deputy will probably be aware that, under the implementation of Sharing the Vision, we have a work stream specifically looking at the transition from CAMHS to general adult mental health services. This is because every time we have a delineation between two services there will be times when young people will get caught between the two services.
