Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion
Mr. David Walsh:
I will refer to two things. First, where children are referred to CAMHS – the figure was in the opening statement – the vast majority of urgent referrals, some 94%, are seen or addressed within three days. However, we have work under way to try to draw together the primary care, disability and mental health services. Perhaps Mr. Kelly can talk about that.
