<p>The recent Green Paper, ‘Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health
Provision’, includes a proposal to trial a four week waiting time for access to specialist
National Health Service children and young people’s mental health services. New Mental
Health Support Teams, a further announcement in the green paper, will also enable
children and young people to access earlier help for emerging problems. Both approaches
will be tested using trailblazer areas, operational from 2019, to understand what
works.</p><p> </p><p>Two waiting time standards applicable to children and young people’s
mental health are already in place; the early intervention in psychosis standard is
currently exceeding its target and the children’s eating disorder standard is on track
to meet its target by 2020/21.</p>
