That this council agrees that the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) should be regulated under the Mental Health Act, 2001, delivering on the first out of the forty-nine recommendations made by the Mental Health Commission in their report on CAMHS, and will write to the Minister for Health to ask that this is carried out.
