A full audit into other CAMHS services around the country is to be carried out as a result, the details of which is to be discussed by Cabinet next week.

Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has told the Dail there will also be considerations for a State apology:

"The HSE has apologised individually, verbally and in writing to all of the children and families affected. And that was done as part of the new open disclosure policy.
