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

Sharon Keogan (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I could not get CAMHS for the children. They must wait for two years, if they are lucky, to get on the CAMHS list. That is not good enough. Children are being failed when it comes to access to mental health services. A child with bad eating disorders cannot get beds straight away. That is the reality of what is happening. Will the Minister please check with her Department?
