One of the recommendations in the report published by Dr. Sean Maskey was that agreements should be developed with GPs to share the treatment of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, and pharmacists might help if that were to cause difficulties for GPs with regard to medication. Another point in the report was that clear written guides for the use of antipsychotic medication should be developed. There are very good recommendations in the report. I want to know the timeline for the implementation of these, not just in Kerry but for the entire country. It is an extremely good and well-researched report and it contains very constructive proposals that need to be implemented at an early date.
