Helpline for South Kerry CAMHS review open all week

A helpline for those affected by a review of CAMHS in South Kerry will remain open until the end of the week (Friday, 30th).

Last week, it emerged that the HSE is reviewing the files of over 1,500 children and young people who attended the South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

This was amid concerns some were prescribed dangerously excessive amounts of medication.

Cork Kerry Community Healthcare says a helpline, which was created last week to assist those affected, will be open 9-5 daily until Friday, when a review will take place.

The helpline’s number is 1800-742-800.
