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

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

Recommendation No. 1 relates to the immediate and independent regulation of CAMHS by the Mental Health Commission. As I said, a key element of the Mental Health Bill will be expansion of the commission's regulatory remit to include community residences - about 1,200 people live in community residences all over the country - and services, including CAMHS services. That has been agreed and the Mental Health Commission is aware of it but we need legislation to put it in place.
