That is what one Kerry family received from the HSE over the harm, neglect and over-prescription of medications to all seven children accessing its psychiatric services. But only three of these siblings are now eligible for compensation under the new government scheme, their mother was informed by registered letter last week. The four older children have been excluded because they were patients at North Kerry Child and Adolescent ­Mental Health Services (Camhs) before 2016."
"Household shattered by the news compensation is not available to all children for 'harm and neglect' Seven siblings, seven apologies.

Seven siblings in Kerry received apologies from the HSE for harm, neglect and the over-prescription of psychiatric medications affecting all seven children who accessed its services. The family was informed that only three of the siblings qualify for compensation under the new government scheme. The children's mother received that eligibility information by registered letter last week. Four older siblings were excluded from compensation because they were patients at North Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (Camhs) prior to 2016. The household experienced significant distress upon learning that not all harmed children are eligible for redress.
