To be fair, when the initial report from Dr. Seán Maskey was presented to me I acted quickly and promptly. I initiated an independent audit by the HSE of three particular areas, namely, prescribing, standard operation procedures and the interaction of parents and families with CAMHS. The Mental Health Commission also agreed to conduct a full review of all nine CHOs. The standard operating procedure is that the Mental Health Commission must, in the first instance, raise any issues with the HSE, which is providing the services. I look forward to receiving these reports because I believe we will get data we have never had previously. We will able to look at all 73 CAMHS teams to see what has to be changed to ensure children are safe in these services.
