Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

I welcomed the recent Final Report of the Mental Health Commission (MHC) on Child and Adolescent Services (CAMHS) nationally. The 49 recommendations of this are currently being considered in detail by the Department of Health and the HSE, in conjunction with the more detailed reports by the Commission in respect of each CHO. The Commission's Interim Report was published in January last and acted on immediately. As the question raised by the Deputy relates to specific operational matters within an individual CHO, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
