Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue which he has raised several times before. Many young people are suffering with psychosis. We see it especially among those aged between 18 and 25. There are strong links between the consumption of cannabis and psychosis. We have several very good teams on the ground. We have fantastic pilot programmes under way in Cork and Sligo and I hope to extend them. A bed capacity review is under way and I am due to have the report by next week. It has been promised for a while. There is, however, capacity in the departments of psychiatry at Ennis and Kilkenny hospitals.
