Mental Health Commission
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-21
============================================================

Mark Ward (SF), Dublin Mid-West

Since the recess, there have been several reports by the Mental Health Commission on child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS. They have highlighted a failure in governance, risk management, clinical governance, staffing and access to treatment, among other matters. Overall, the reports are a damning indictment of how we care for vulnerable children. I ask for an update on the Government's response to the Mental Health Commission's report on CAMHS. Will the Government accept the 49 recommendations made by the Mental Health Commission?
