Richard Boyd Barrett
Question:474. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Health the number of inpatient beds available across the country, broken down by area, for children with mental health difficulties; if he will provide a comparison between these numbers and the numbers over the past five years; the way these numbers have changed since the inclusion of 17-year-old and 18-year-old children in the category of child and adolescent mental health; and his views that this group of vulnerable patients are adequately catered for.
