Young children being rejected for mental health service

Children are being turned away from mental health services due to lack of resources.

Children as young as five are being turned away from essential mental health services and it is unclear "if or when" they will be treated.

In a letter seen by the Irish Examiner, a mother in Carlow was told the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) is not accepting new referrals due to "service operational problems".
