Kerry parents to meet government over failures in child mental health services

The Kerry Camhs Support Group believes that more children suffered harm under Kerry Camhs than those identified by the recently published Maskey report which exposed a litany of failures in the service. 

A group of parents representing children attending the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (Camhs) in Kerry are to meet government representatives at the Dáil next month.

Three representatives of the Kerry Camhs Support Group will have two meetings on March 2 in the Dáil, one with Minister of State with responsibility for Mental Health and Older People Mary Butler and another with Fianna Fáil TDs including Jim O’Callaghan.
