Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion (11 Oct 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion (11 Oct 2023)

Mark Ward: My last question concerns the number one recommendation from the report on CAMHS regarding the regulation of the service under the Mental Health Commission. Is this something the HSE would welcome in respect of independent oversight? What is the opinion of the witnesses in this regard?
