Pa Daly (SF), Kerry

The recent review of the south Kerry CAMHS comprised 74 pages and 35 recommendations and it proclaimed the contact it had with parents, patients and former patients who are now adults. However, many of them have been in touch with me and told me that there has not been much contact with them, that there is no care plan in place, that they have not seen a psychologist who must be independent of the current team and that they feel their questions are not being listened to, heard or answered.
In regard to those parents who have not been contacted, what does the Minister propose to do with regard to contacting them, giving them what is needed and extending the review to the parents in north Kerry who feel just as aggrieved?
