Concern is growing from within the health service about CAMHS waiting lists as well.

"Almost beyond belief"

Longford-Westmeath TD Sorca Clarke is highlighting the need for a major overhaul of youth mental health services.

There has been an 81% increase on young people waiting for first time CAMHS appointments since 2020.

While the College of Psychiatrists in Ireland want to see specific training for CAMHS members and a clearer internal reporting structure.

The Sinn Fein rep says the repeated warnings need to be heeded:
