466. To ask the Minister for Health his views on the shortcomings of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service whereby children with behavioural issues who have reduced school attendance that are referred to CAHMS are returned as not in their remit; if consideration has been given to a locally based layered system of support for families under pressure that shows up as behavioural dysfunction that is all too often medicated (details supplied); 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.
