Mental Health Services: Children and Young People
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 9 January 2020 to Question 288 on Mental Health Services: Children and Young People, what plans he has to introduce further waiting time standards for mental health services for children and young people.
- Answer
-
We are piloting a four-week waiting time in 12 areas to improve access to children and young people’s specialist mental health services.
The National Health Service is committed to providing help where it is required as quickly as possible. But it is important to do this safely and consistently across the country without introducing any unintended consequences.
