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
