State facing slew of lawsuits over harm done to vulnerable Kerry children

In late 2021, there were 2,384 children waiting to be seen by Camhs services, according to the HSE.

The State is facing a slew of lawsuits following revelations of significant harm done to vulnerable young patients in the care of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (Camhs) in Kerry.

A new report documents a litany of failings at the service, with 46 children suffering due to unreliable diagnoses and inappropriate prescriptions.
