Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of CAMHS clinicians have received training in PTSD therapies, and what steps the Department is taking to improve training coverage.

Information on the proportion of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) clinicians who have received training in therapies for post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not collected centrally. Providers, such as National Health Service trusts and other organisations delivering CAMHS, remain responsible for ensuring that their clinicians have the appropriate skills and training to meet the needs of children and young people, including where PTSD therapies are required.
