Bríd Smith
Ceist:42. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Health his views on whether the resignations of three consultant child and adolescent psychiatrists in the south east are least partly a result of the lack of resources at primary care level and the resulting over-burdening of an already grossly under-resourced secondary care CAMHS operating at less than a quarter of recommended resources for a safe service; his further views on whether this is the case in other CAMHS areas nationally; the advice his Department will give to consultant child psychiatrists operating in these circumstances that triage the children referred to them and must reject the less severe and waitlist the most severe of the non-urgent referrals; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
