624. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to situations with regard to children and young people who are discharged from CAHMS where these patients are referred to a HSE healthcare centre or day hospital to be seen by a psychologist which often have long waiting lists; if he will advise the supports that are in place to prevent the patient waiting for extended periods without a doctor appointment or prescription for medication; 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.
