I am in ongoing discussions on the independently-led prescribing audit for each of the CAMHS teams, which I sought as an additional action, beyond the recommendations set out in the Maskey report. It is important to me that this audit is comprehensive and robust. It will cover community and inpatient teams and it will be independently led.  I will continue to liaise closely with the HSE to commence, and to complete, this audit as soon as possible.

I have written to the HSE to direct them to commence the audit of compliance with existing CAMHS operational guidelines immediately and I have sought fortnightly updates on progress, including on timelines. I will be better positioned to update the Deputy on specific timelines very shortly.
