Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the average cost is of treating a child with conduct disorder.

This information is not collected centrally.

Children and young people with mental health disorders, such as conduct disorders, are provided with treatment by a wide range of services and organisations and in a variety of settings, including local authorities, schools, children’s services, voluntary organisations as well as Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. It is not possible to calculate an average cost across all these organisations.
