<p>We are making an additional £1.4 billion available up until 2020/21 to improve
the provision of children and young people’s mental health services, including £150
million specifically to tackle eating disorders.</p><p> </p><p>This funding is delivering
a major system-wide transformation programme to improve access and make services more
widely available across the country, and implementing the vision set out in <em>Future
in Mind. </em>To this end all clinical commissioning groups working with their partners,
developed transformation plans for children’s and young people’s mental health in
2015/16, incorporating them last year into their wider NHS Sustainability and Transformation
Plans. These set out how local agencies are working together to improve children and
young people’s mental health across the full spectrum of need.</p><p> </p><p>Later
this year, the Government will publish a Green Paper on children and young people’s
mental health focused on helping young people receive the best start in life. The
Green Paper will have two core themes: preventing mental ill-health and ensuring better
access to services.</p>
