Very high uptake of South Kerry CAMHS compensation scheme

There have been 230 applications to the compensation scheme for people who suffered harm as a result of attending the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in South Kerry.

Of those 83 applications have been forwarded to mediation - with 89 per cent of those granted a settlement and others waiting on a decision.

Minister for Mental Health Mary Butler will update Cabinet on the compensation scheme, noting a high uptake rate among those impacted.

The report by Dr Seán Maskey examined the care of 240 children and young people - finding that 46 were caused significant harm.
