<p>Whilst a national access and waiting time standard for children and young people’s
mental health services has not yet been defined, we recognise that there is the potential
for an increase in demand for these services as a result of COVID-19. We are working
with the Department for Education, the National Health Service, Public Health England
and others to gather evidence and assess the potential longer-term mental health impacts
of COVID-19, including on children and young people.</p>
