Failure to resource young people's mental health 'a stain on State's legacy', as 2,691 wait for appointments

Almost 2,700 children and young adults (2691) are waiting for an HSE appointment. The HSE figures, obtained by Fianna Fail, show include almost 400 waiting longer than 12 months.

Fianna Fáil's health spokesperson, James Browne, says the State's failure to properly resource the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) will be a "stain on its legacy".
