The Government\u2019s response to the Committee\u2019s report was published in April 2019. In it, the Government accepted the recommendation to provide annual updates to the Committee on various aspects of data relating to young people\u2019s access to mental health services, until April 2022. These will include more reliable statistics as new measures are developed and published.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government\u2019s response also provided the latest available information, as far as it is collected and available, as well as showing where this information is routinely published.<\/p>

<\/p>

Information on outcomes for young people with mental health issues who do not receive any or timely treatment is not collected centrally.<\/p>

<\/p>

Progress on achieving parity of esteem for children and young people\u2019s mental health services is monitored against key measurables such as access and waiting times standards.<\/p>

<\/p>

The NHS Long Term Plan sets out how it intends to improve services that support children and young people including those who require mental health services. It commits to growing investment in mental health services faster than the overall NHS budget. Further, funding for children and young people\u2019s mental health services will grow faster than both overall National Health Service funding and total mental health spending.<\/p>

The National Implementation Framework, when published, will provide further information on how the commitments set out for children and young people\u2019s mental health in the Plan will be implemented.<\/p>

The Government is committed to further reducing avoidable sight loss and ensuring that patients have access to timely treatment and support in line with clinical need and best available evidence.<\/p>

<\/p>

Latest data from the Public Health Outcome indicator, which is tracking rates of sight loss due to age related macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, shows that sight loss due to these conditions has dropped slightly. The latest statistics can be found on the GOV.UK website at the following link:<\/p>

NHS England is taking forward initiatives to help ensure that patients have access to high quality and timely eye care services. This includes NHS England\u2019s EyesWise, a collaboration with the Royal College of Ophthalmologists which aims to support the development and local implementation of new ways of delivering ophthalmology outpatient services to best meet the growing demands on Hospital Eye Service Departments. This work focuses on supporting the needs of glaucoma patients and those at risk of glaucoma.<\/p>

It builds on actions undertaken by all hospital eye services and clinical commissioning groups in England to deliver the Elective Care Transformation Programme\u2019s High Impact Intervention for Ophthalmology, improving the timely assessment and follow-up of the people at highest risk of sight loss.<\/p>
