Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-12-02
============================================================

Sharon Keogan (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

Sorry, but I am talking about children who are dying. It is awful. I hear about this all the time. There are children dying in hospital waiting for CAMHS. They receive medical intervention but medical intervention is no good when a child is actually dying. What services exist for children with eating disorders? There are none. There is not one bed available. I am not being dramatic.
