Experts discuss child mental health

The new Mental Health Minister Jim Daly has admitted services for children with mental health difficulties are “not good enough” and that he is “not happy with them”.

Mr Daly made the admission during a Seanad Public Consultation Committee meeting on child mental health services where he said he hoped to bring a proposal to set up an Oireachtas Committee on Mental Health to the Dáil today .

Fianna Fáil has previously proposed the setting up of such a committee.
