More than 4,000 young people are on waiting lists for mental health services across the country
Some 482 children are on waiting lists for Mental Health services in the CH07 area which covers Kildare and West Wicklow, Dublin west, Dublin south city and Dublin south-west.
More than 4,000 young people are on waiting lists for mental health services – with children in Cork and Kerry the worst-hit.
The second highest waiting list for CAMHS was in the Wicklow/Dún Laoghaire/Dublin South East CHO, where 745 young people are waiting for mental healthcare.
Another 656 children and young people are on a waiting list in the Laois, Offaly, Longford, Westmeath, Louth and Meath CHOs.
According to the HSE, there are currently 4,361 people on waiting lists for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Ireland.
It comes after the Inspector of Mental Health Services last month told parents that she couldn’t provide an assurance to them “that their children have access to a safe, effective and evidence-based mental health service”.
