answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text <p>We do not have systematic evidence of increasing waiting times across the different ‘tiers’ of child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). Anecdotal evidence for increasing waiting times we are aware of does not link to specific geographical areas or providers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Charity YoungMinds and the <em>CAMHS Benchmarking Report</em> by the NHS Benchmarking Network have both reported increased waiting times for services.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>YoungMinds state that lack of access to services and long waiting lists are common issues raised through the YoungMinds Parent’s helpline.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The <em>Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Tier 4 </em>Report identifies a long waiting time for beds in some areas, and as a result NHS England is investing £7 million this financial year to provide up to 50 additional beds in the areas with greatest need.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>We are keen to ensure that children and young people are able to access mental health services as and when they need them. The Children and Adolescent Mental Health Wellbeing Taskforce is focusing on a number of issues which need to be addressed in child and adolescent mental health, including the current complexity faced by children and young people and their parents and carers in understanding and accessing child and adolescent mental health services.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In October we published a 5 Year Plan <em>Achieving Better Access to Mental Health Services by 2020</em> which sets out the case for comprehensive access and waiting time standards in mental health for people of all ages. It announces the introduction of standard waiting times for Early Intervention in Psychosis services which will be of benefit to young people, and for the adult Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme. Where adult IAPT services are commissioned to provide a service to 16 and 17 year olds, the waiting time standards will apply to all those attending the service, regardless of their age.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb question first answered 05/11/2014 15:48:10 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text <p>Tackling Modern slavery is a priority for the National Crime Agency, which is committed to improving the co-ordination and coherence of intelligence gathering processes, working with law enforcement partners in the UK and abroad. For example, Europol helped facilitate the arrest of 90 people suspected of human trafficking as part of Operation Archimedes in September this year, and that is why the Government is seeking to rejoin the measure on 1 December. The Modern Slavery Strategy, which will be published shortly, will set out a number of measures to improve the way in which intelligence on modern slavery is gathered, analysed and shared with law enforcement partners.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 05/11/2014 14:27:35 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
