Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy and completely agree that urgent action is needed. I will be following up on this personally later on in the week, alongside the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, ensuring that the whole of the Government is behind her, the Department of Health and the HSE in taking the actions that are needed. As I mentioned earlier, a new clinical lead will be appointed in youth mental health to ensure we have the clinical leadership and governance which is required. In addition, a new assistant national director will be appointed for CAMHS to ensure that we have the senior management.
