CAMHS Tell-All Report: Professor McNicholas on Why Child Mental Health Services Need to Change

Muireann and Tommy are joined by Professor Fiona McNicholas to discuss the shocking report released by the Mental Health Commission about child mental health services in Ireland.
Professor McNicholas explains that there are no IT services where children's medication and diagnoses can be monitored or reviewed.
A shocked Tommy exclaims, "this is prehistoric stuff!"
She tells them, "your hairdresser does better at calling you back in."
"Clinicians on the ground are working very hard. They're burnt out and they're trying to do what they can."
"Money doesn't follow the patient, and therefore it seems on the ground that everybody is throwing this referral to somebody else for fear it would take up the scarce resources that they have."
Professor McNicholas breaks down what needs to change to make our children's mental health services better.

This has Nagoya Protocol written all over it... politicians are now using the protocol to get information on their rivals which is not the intended use of this protocol.... Pascal Donohue is a victim of its abuse and if not it's suspicious what platform was used to get information on his private party business...which is the whole point of Irish people having political wings... Certainly reasonable doubt ... Nagoya Protocol is the leading knowledge transfer agency on earth and could be assisting our sick and infirm ..not assisting the Gerrymandering of Irish politics.
