Matt Carthy: I thank the witnesses for being here this morning. If I noted it correctly, Mr. Reid has described the situation that occurred in south Kerry CAMHS as a complete failure across multiple areas in terms of oversight, governance, clinical management, duty of care and other areas. That is a very frank and honest assessment of what happened. I wish to probe precisely how it happened and what...

Matt Carthy: Excuse me. Has the sound broken down?

Matt Carthy: Does Mr. Reid know?
- Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)
Matt Carthy: What was the date of that? The HSE did not inform the Minister until the Maskey report was completed.

Matt Carthy: Concerns relating to issues pertaining to the lives of young children effectively being destroyed as a result of the treatment they received from Kerry CAMHS were received by the HSE in 2018 but no intervention was made to inform a Minister until the end of 2021.

- Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)
Matt Carthy: I am glad to hear the Minister of State is looking for that because what Ms O'Connor just described is not a full audit of the CAMHS services. Does the HSE intend to carry out a full audit of all prescribing being conducted within CAMHS across the State? I suggest that it should do so.
