Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I do not want to make that commitment here until I have had that meeting but as soon as I can answer that question, I will. I point out that there has been a great deal of investment in CAMHS in recent years. There has been a marked increase in staffing in the community, for example. Fewer than 400 full-time staff worked in CAMHS in 2011 and it is now over 659. Much investment has been made in recent years but clearly, we will need more investment in staff, in management and in clinical governance.
