to read our letter in The Irish Times calling on the Government to commit to the urgent reform of CAMHS

Serious concerns about the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in Ireland (CAMHS) have been reported repeatedly. 

Yet we have seen no real reform. 

The HSE has issued an apology and acknowledged serious deficits in the service. 

Yet we have seen no real prioritisation to ensure the service is safe and fit for purpose.
