I am satisfied that, in common with all the other services provided by the HSE, the Mental Health Care Programme, including CAMHS, complies with relevant Governance policies and structures for the health sector overall. CAMHS is provided by the HSE in line with best practice, from both a clinical and an operational governance perspective. It should be noted that CAMHS comes within the monitoring of policies, performance and procedures, carried out by the Mental Health Commission in common with all areas of Mental Health. If the Deputy has any specific concerns in relation to CAMHS, he should bring those to the attention of the HSE.
