	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2024 answer text <p>To date, there has been no assessment made to determine the potential impact of evidence-based digital mental health innovations on reducing waiting lists for child and adolescent services. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has made recommendations on four products for self-help digital cogitative behavioural therapy technologies for children and young people with low mood or anxiety, through their Early Value Assessment process. Whilst there was no definitive determination on the impact to waiting lists, early evidence suggests that these types of interventions can improve access for patients and can supplement existing treatments whilst patients are waiting for further treatment.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 13/03/2024 17:20:36 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
