Nationally, the National Health Service is exceeding the target with 76.7% of patients starting treatment within two weeks in May 2019.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, NHS England is piloting four week waiting times in 12 areas across the country to establish how to achieve a four week waiting time for all children and young people’s community mental health services.</p><p> </p><p>Under the Plan, NHS England will also ensure that specific waiting times targets for emergency mental health services for all, including children and young people, will take effect from 2020.</p><p> </p>
