WQ.289/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 2nd JULY 2019
Question
Further to the response to Written Question 232/2019, will the Minister provide a timetable for the transfer of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (C.A.H.M.S.), including the plan for the safe transition of services across the departments, and will he also state when it is anticipated that improvements to the support for young Islanders with their mental health will be delivered as part of that process?
Answer
The transition of CAMHS into the department of Children and Young People, Education and Skills (CYPES) has involved a two-phase programme. Phase one involved the transition of services (CAMHS and Community Health and Therapy services) and this happened on 1st June 2019. To enable a safe transition of services, a Clinical, Care and Professional Governance framework and Memorandum of Understanding have been developed. A joint Health & Community services and CYPES Oversight Executive Group will oversee the services.
Phase two of the programme involves a 12-month programme of work including a review and redesign of CAMHS. This programme of work will identify the necessary improvements to be delivered.
