- Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed) (18 Jun 2025)
Mary Butler: The expert group review of the Mental Health Act did not recommend that a professional other than a consultant psychiatrist could become the inspector of mental health services. In every registered acute mental health centre, the clinical director is a consultant psychiatrist. Furthermore, the only profession that can make an admission or renewal order is a consultant psychiatrist. As...

Mary Butler: Sorry to cut across the Deputy. Those are not accepted. It is because their referrals are not accepted.
- Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed) (18 Jun 2025)
Mary Butler: I have a couple of points to make as I have spoken extensively on the waiting lists. It is important to acknowledge, however, that last year there were 233,000 appointments allocated by CAMHS and approximately 8% or 9% were not attended for a myriad of reasons. For some, they may have aged out and, for others, they may have gone privately, and there may be other reasons they did not attend....

Mary Butler: In fairness, 97% of all urgent referrals to CAMHS were responded to within three days up to April 2025, and they are the latest figures I have received.

Mary Butler: Some teams accept more referrals while others accept less. All I can say on the floor of the Dáil is my commitment to trying to provide additional funding. We have 81 teams.

We have 1.2 million young people in the country, whereas five years...

Mary Butler: I thank all the Deputies for their comments. The reason why amendment No. 206 is not being accepted is because this amendment duplicates what is already in the Bill. There are 223 sections in the Bill. It is huge and very complex. There is a lot in it and it is hard to take every bit of it in, but that amendment is a duplication. That is the only reason why it is not being accepted. ...
