Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I wish to raise with the Minister of State, Deputy McEntee, the question of child and adolescent mental health services. I realise there is a serious issue nationally. I am raising the question especially in the context of Cork city and county, where several vacancies have arisen in critical staff positions. This is now having a direct impact on the waiting lists and the ability of families to access services. I am keen to know what the Minister of State and the HSE are doing to get the vacancies filled in order that we can start providing the services that children and young adolescents need.
