The main body representing psychologists has told an Oireachtas Committee that recent issues with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (Camhs) has highlighted the "limited" way in which the service is run.

Camhs has come under renewed focus in recent months, not least because of the damning Maskey Report into serious issues in South Kerry Camhs, and the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) said the way the service is run needs to change.
