The mother of a boy who died by suicide while in the care of mental health services has demanded that critical reports on the service be acted upon and not forgotten.

Elaine Clear's comments follow an interim report from the Mental Health Commission (MHC) on five of the nine Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (Camhs) as well as the HSE's announcement of a review on North Kerry Camhs, similar to the Maskey Report in South Kerry a year ago.
