answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>There is no general six week target for access to specialist National Health Service children’s mental health services. The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health is at the heart of Government plans to transform mental health services and a key part of this is ensuring a reduction in waiting times for key services. Following publication of the Five Year Forward view, the Government agreed the following waiting times and access targets with NHS England to be achieved by 2020/21:</p><p>- For accessing ‘Improving Access to Psychological Therapies’ services 75% of referrals should be seen within six weeks and 95% should be seen within 18 weeks.;</p><p>- For eating disorder services 95% of referrals should be seen within four weeks for routine cases and 95% of urgent referrals should be seen within one week; and</p><p>- For the Early Intervention in Psychosis programme 50% of people experiencing a first episode of psychosis should start a National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommended package of care within two weeks of referral, rising to 60%.</p><p>We are on track to meet these targets, which are tracked on the Five Year Forward View dashboard.
