Children and their families who suffered as a result of the over-prescribing scandal in South Kerry mental health services (Camhs) are to receive details of a compensation scheme this week, junior Minister Mary Butler said.
The move comes after the Maskey report found clear evidence that 46 children had suffered significant harm and 227 were exposed to the risk of significant harm due to the over-prescribing of medication by a junior child psychiatrist.
