Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 January 2024
188. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Health his views on whether CAMHS teams should continue to govern themselves independently; his future plans for further cohesion, oversight and accountability from his Department over CAMHS teams; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAs this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday, 6 October. As a consequence of this industrial action, members in these grades are not engaging with political forums or processes. As a result, the question asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
