A review into South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services cost over €7.5 million.
That’s according to figures in the Irish Examiner, provided by the HSE to Sinn Féin health spokesperson, David Cullinane.
In 2022, the Maskey Report found the care received by 240 young people in South Kerry CAMHS didn’t meet acceptable standards - with 46 patients caused significant harm.

The figures show from 2021 to 2024 expenditure relating to the lookback review was over €7.5 million (€7,585,273) – including combined non-pay costs (€3,367,493) and non-pay legal costs (€336,945).
The HSE says that the North Kerry CAMHS is ongoing, therefore, a final cost figure is not yet available.
