In some such cases, including for example those involving criminality or public safety, police involvement may well be necessary.</p><p>However, the Government has been clear that the police should not be expected to care on an ongoing basis for those who have committed no offence but who require professional healthcare. The Government is working closely with the police and health services to better understand the precise scale and nature of mental health demands, and how these may best be addressed.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 05/12/2018 16:42:11 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>These two reports set out information on the prevalence of mental health conditions in children and young people. The Mental Health Services Data Set helps inform our understanding of demand for services, although it is an experimental dataset, and we expect data quality and coverage to improve over time. Current transformation plans to improve children and young people’s mental health services in the National Health Service have been based on an understanding of unmet need and increasing demand, which was already understood well before the publication of the recent report ‘Mental Health of Children and Young People in England, 2017’ on the prevalence of mental health conditions. The recently published survey shows a slight increase overall in prevalence of mental health conditions in 5-15 year olds, from 10.1% in 2004 to 11.2% in 2017.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 03/12/2018 16:58:04 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
