Matt Carthy: The report was published on 26 January this year. I presume it was completed months before that.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

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. Is that what Ms O'Neill is saying?

Matt Carthy: Was the Minister informed the Maskey report had been commissioned?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Matt Carthy: Let us move on to the future. We have spoken about the full audit of CAMHS services that has been promised. I ask Ms O'Connor to give us an idea of what has been proposed in terms of what that audit will entail.

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.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Matt Carthy: How will the review be monitored to ensure it is a full audit? What oversight will there be? Will this be entirely operated or managed by the HSE? Will the Department have a role? Will there be outside appraisal of the work of the audit?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Matt Carthy: I again seek clarification that this will include all children who have come through CAMHS. Is it envisaged there will be oversight by the Department?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Matt Carthy: To clarify, it is not specific. I presume the 50 cases that will be assessed will be selected randomly. They will go beyond ADHD.

Matt Carthy: I thank Ms O'Connor.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (10 Mar 2022)

Matt Carthy: On the Children's Health Ireland budget and the exception that it accounts for the cost of retirement benefit analysis only as pensions become payable, we get this in a lot of the statements and audit opinions for health bodies.
