The Blizzards frontman has been responding to a review of the service, which found it's several understaffed.

An independent review into CAMHS shows there's a "massive failure" within the service.

That's according to Blizzards Frontman and mental health campaigner Bressie, as the review has found the service is severely understaffed.

On the day of inspection, CHO8, which includes Laois, Offaly and Westmeath, had a clinical staffing level of 80.8 - the recommended figure is 135.6.

The Mullingar man says the review has to be a point of change for mental health services in the country:
