answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2015 answer text <p>This data is not collected centrally.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Some data is available at local level. However, for specialist or acute mental health services, waiting times vary according to the degree of urgency for each case. These are assessed by senior clinicians in South London and Maudsley (SLAM) who provide services for children and young people in Croydon and are reviewed as soon as new information is available.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In recognition of the fact that there are long waiting times for community mental health services for children and young people, Croydon Clinical Commissioning Group (Croydon CCG) has committed to a 16% uplift to specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for 2015/16 onwards. This will introduce additional capacity into community mental health services to improve access for routine appointments. This is likely to be further enhanced by additional funding which is being allocated for children and young people’s mental health by the Government to CCGs and their partners, through the local transformation plans.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 14/09/2015 16:25:44 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2015 answer text <p>After publishing <em>Future in mind</em> in March this year, The Department is working closely with NHS England and other partners to improve children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing. This is a major priority of the Government.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The first major step for achieving sustainable, system-wide transformation is the development of local transformation plans in line with proposals put forward in <em>Future in mind</em>. On 3 August 2015, NHS England published guidance requiring all clinical commissioning groups to develop these plans, working across the NHS, health and wellbeing boards, public health, local authority, youth justice and education sectors. These plans should cover the full spectrum of interventions: from prevention to support and care for existing, or emerging mental health problems, as well as transitions between services and addressing the needs of the most vulnerable. A national programme of work to support local transformation is under way, which includes tackling stigma, improving data and information to inform greater transparency and accountability and developing a specialist and stronger workforce.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 14/09/2015 16:01:55 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
