Carol Nolan wants it be made a priority in the Budget.

Offaly CAMHS must be afforded greater levels of staffing in the upcoming Budget.

That's according to Independent rep Carol Nolan, as she urges Tanaiste Simon Harris to make it a priority for October's annoucement.

She's highlighting the case of one of her constiuents, a teenage girl diagnosed with various conditions including depression and bipolar disorder.

The Offaly CAMHS branch have told her mother it could be September or early October before she could get offered an appointment.

Deputy Nolan says it's vital the issue is resolved:
