During the meeting of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health of 24 May, Mr. Bernard Gloster, CEO of the HSE, stated in reply to me that the HSE had "a serious question to ask as to whether we continue to maintain more than 70 partially staffed [CAMHS] teams or reduce them to 55 or 50 full teams". Are there plans to reduce the number of child and adolescent mental health service teams from 75 to 50? What discussions has the Department had on the matter?
