Robust data is not available to determine how much of this increase is down to increased disclosure resulting from reduced stigma, and how much is due to increased prevalence.</p><p>Any disclosure of diagnosed mental health conditions by higher education students to their institution is voluntary.

The first aims for 95% of children (up to 19 years old) with eating disorders to receive treatment within a week for urgent cases and four weeks for routine cases. The second is that 50% of patients experiencing a first episode of psychosis receive treatment within two weeks of referral.</p><p>In the Children and Young People’s Green Paper published jointly with the Department for Education, we also announced a four week waiting time to improve access to National Health Service mental health services, which we are rolling out in a number of trailblazer areas as a pilot, alongside the new mental health support teams, with a view to rolling out waiting times nationally.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan goes further with the goal of an extra 345,000 children and young people aged 0 -25 receiving support via NHS-funded mental health services by 2023/24. This includes a one hour target for young people arriving in accident and emergency experiencing a mental health crisis to be given an assessment.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 20/06/2019 14:43:31 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
