91. To ask the Minister for Health his views on whether the over-reliance on medication in the absence of sufficient primary care resources across mental health services (details supplied) is in part the reason for the resignation of three consultant psychiatrists in the south east; his plans to carry out an audit of the number of children that are being prescribed psychostimulant drugs; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
