    HSE Mental Health Services Under Fire in Ireland

    A new report reveals alarming findings about Irelands HSE mental health services for children, particularly in north Kerry. Over half of the 374 treated kids were at risk, with 79% receiving medication, double the national average. Sleep meds were prescribed to 60%, compared to 24% nationwide. Consent discussions were missing in most cases. Children with intellectual disabilities were often prescribed psychotropic drugs without trying other options. Long-term use of antipsychotics and stimulants led to serious side effects. Parents and advocacy groups express deep concern, calling for urgent changes and accountability.

    North Kerry Mental Health Review: Serious Failures

    Shocking Review Uncovers Serious Failures in Childrens Mental Health Services in North Kerry A comprehensive review into childrens mental health services in north Kerry has revealed alarming failures, with over half of the cases checked putting children at risk of harm. The review, led by Dr. Colette Halpin, found that 94% of children with intellectual disabilities were prescribed psychotropic medication, and 80% received antipsychotic drugs, which contradicts standard practice. The Health Service Executive plans to extend the review to cases before November 2022, focusing on children with intellectual disabilities or high doses of these medications. Families and advocates are pushing for the review to cover the entire county and go back to 2010. Parents are devastated and outraged, demanding real change beyond apologies. Solicitor Keith Rolls, representing many families, described the care deficits as atrocious and widespread. In the Dáil, Taoiseach Micheál Martin acknowledged that children did not receive proper care and emphasized the need for accountability and a deeper investigation. Charities like ADHD Ireland and AsIAM have also raised concerns, with leaders reporting growing waiting lists and some autistic children facing chemical restraint. Dr. Halpin recommended dedicated pharmacists for all community services and changes to how teams handle intellectual disabilities. Minister Mary Butler expressed serious concerns, while regional officer Andy Phillips apologized and promised swift action on all recommendations to protect vulnerable children in the future.
