Half the councils in England had cut or frozen budgets for
child and adolescent mental health
between 2010-11 and 2014-15.
A health select committee report last year warned that
"in many areas early intervention services are being cut or are suffering from
insecure or short-term funding”.
This month it was revealed that the number of children
being placed on adult wards because of a shortage of beds
on children's wards had increased by 10% this year.
SHOCKING mores because the NHS is under so much pressure especially hospitals.
Vikki Lucy Counsellor says::
And when they get there
(if you can actually get them there)
A&E are too busy to do anything,
and there's no one from CAMHS available to see them.
