Mental Health Services: Waiting Lists
(asked on 12th July 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of trends in the length of the waiting list for child and adolescent mental health services in (a) the Wirral and (b) England.
This question was answered on 17th July 2017
Since January 2016, data from NHS Children and Young People’s mental health services has been collected and published as part of the Mental Health Services Dataset. To date, there is insufficient data to analyse trends, but we anticipate such analysis will become possible as the amount of data increases, allowing a greater focus on unwarranted variation.
