	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>Average national waiting times in each of the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 will not be published as information on waiting times for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services is not collected centrally. There is anecdotal evidence of increasing waiting times in some areas. We do not know whether or not this is due to an increase in referrals or in the prevalence of mental health conditions but will be seeking further information by commissioning a survey into the prevalence of mental illness in children and young people.</p><p> </p><p><br> <br></p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb question first answered 28/10/2014 14:48:00 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb
