Some of the most upsetting stories in the report involve young people and their families having to attend accident and emergency departments during times of crisis in order to get out-of-hours help. According to the report, this is an issue. Has the HSE a timeline for the full implementation of its 2019 service plan, which contained a commitment to provide a seven-day-per-week CAMHS? Where are we in that regard?
