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>
<\/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>
