Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 January 2018
300. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Health if he is satisfied that the governance structures underpinning the operation of the CAMHS throughout the State is satisfactory and fully transparent. [2775/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am satisfied that, in common with all the other services provided by the HSE, the Mental Health Care Programme, including CAMHS, complies with relevant Governance policies and structures for the health sector overall. CAMHS is provided by the HSE in line with best practice, from both a clinical and an operational governance perspective. It should be noted that CAMHS comes within the monitoring of policies, performance and procedures, carried out by the Mental Health Commission in common with all areas of Mental Health. If the Deputy has any specific concerns in relation to CAMHS, he should bring those to the attention of the HSE.
