145. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 327 of 15 October 2019, if CHO 2 and CHO 8 do not have a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist; if so, the length of time the positions have been vacant; the recruitment under way to address same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49260/19]

As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
