More than 7,000 children with mental health concerns are on waiting lists for community and psychology supports, according to latest figures.
The group has awarded the Government a D-minus in the area of children’s mental health to reflect the numbers waiting for appointments.While there have been improvements in recent years, the alliance says children continue to be placed in highly inappropriate adult inpatient units. The highest grade it gave the Government is an A-minus for promoting equality for LGTBI children and young people.has led the world in introducing the first ever LGBTI strategy. It says this will help support this group of young people who often face prejudice and discrimination in their everyday lives.
Overall, the alliance has given the Government a C grade for its record in living up to its promises to children. For example under the new scheme, a two-parent family with an annual take home pay of €30,000 and with two children under three will get a weekly subsidy of €220.
It's a total joke kids slipping through the nets unless you have the money to push and be annoying till you get the help that's needed if your lucky it's frightening what our kids have to deal with and the wait they have for help
God help them. It's an awful sad time for Ireland .
