'Extra €50m needed to combat youth mental health crisis'

Children's committee is particularly concerned for young people who have a 'dual diagnosis'.

The Government needs to “immediately” provide at least an extra €50m to combat the youth mental health crisis, the Oireachtas children’s committee has said.

This money needs to be split between further investment in the HSE’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (Camhs) and community and voluntary organisations.
