Families in Kerry affected by failures in children’s mental health services in the county have said they are very disappointed at delays in finishing a review of care.

It comes as the Mental Health Commission’s annual report shows average compliance rates of 58.34% for Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (Camhs) centres against four standards.
