Imelda Munster: The HSE recently announced that it will carry out a review of open cases in CAMHS but it will particularly focus on the cases that have not been monitored in the past six months or more. In March last year, I asked the HSE to carry out a full audit of CAMHS. That audit never happened. Do the witnesses regret that now? Do they have a timeline for the audit to be completed? If so, what is...

Imelda Munster: Okay. Is Ms O’Neill confident that if the HSE had carried out a full review of cases that were closed up to the past 12, 24 or 36 months, as members of the committee requested but the HSE did not commit to undertaking, it would not have identified any additional cases with issues?

Imelda Munster: The HSE does not know that for sure, however. It took the MHC to publish that report for this review to happen, and what a damning report it was. How long has the HSE been without a national clinical director for mental health?

Imelda Munster: Does the HSE accept the utter dysfunctionality within the CAMHS service? It is, at best, utter dysfunctionality and, at worst, putting children's lives at risk. We could all cite cases. I could cite a harrowing case that only happened last week where it took a father almost a fortnight to secure his child a place in a psychiatric unit. It meant that father had to sit in a hospital for...

Imelda Munster: We know there are good staff providing services but, for the majority of cases that we come across as public representatives, to say the service is dysfunctional is giving the HSE some ends of credit. It is a disgrace. That is what it is.

Imelda Munster: It comes back to the fact that we asked the HSE to carry out a full audit last year that it stated it did not need. On foot of the MHC report, all of a sudden we are getting it now. If the HSE were to admit its failings and, in some cases, dismal failings, as I said, it might have a little more credibility. I will just move on because-----
