The review of the provision of CAMHS in 5 out of 9 Community Healthcare Organisations (CHOs 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) has been completed. The HSE stated that it acknowledged that there are defcits in current service provision, including access, capacity and consistency in quality of services provided. In acknowledgement of defcits the HSE stated that it has prioritised targeted improvements and investment over recent years including building capacity in CAMHS and youth mental health, developing specialist services and clinical programmes, suicide prevention, investing in mental health in primary care, modernising forensic services and digital platforms for accessing services.
