A review of medication practices in every CAMHS team in the country is getting under way today.

It was ordered after the scandal in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in south Kerry.

A review found 46 children were significantly harmed, after they were prescribed inappropriate medication by a junior doctor.
