Letters to the Editor: Criticism for Camhs aimed at leaders’ arrogance

The introduction of new reduced speed limits will not, on their own, reduce fatalities or serious injuries on our roads, says one reader. Picture: Denis Minihane

Kieran Moore (Letters, September 8) takes a robust swipe at the paltry service intervention for vulnerable children across the disability spectrum. His ire is mostly well placed, albeit he misunderstands the innate flaws in the Camhs hierarchical setup and, presuming they’re disproportionately scapegoated, he claims that “Camhs gets all the rap, and other services covering disability...... get away scot-free by comparison”.

Just to enlighten him, Camhs teams deserve all the opprobrium they elicit, due to the professional arrogance of their team leaders.... aka psychiatrists.
