WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR CHILDREN AND HOUSING BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 13th JULY 2020
Question
Will the Minister provide the Assembly with the number of new referrals or patients, broken down by age, seen by the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, including the new extended service at Greenfields, since public health advice about shielding and lockdown' took effect?
Answer
From 30 March to 30 June 2020, CAMHS received referrals for 97 clients.
Age at Referral | Count |
1-6 | 15 |
7-12 | 28 |
13-15 | 30 |
16+ | 24 |
From 30 March to 30 June 2020, CAMHS undertook initial assessments for 70 clients.
Age At Assessment Count
1-6 5
7-12 23
13-15 26
16+ 16
Due to the high risk of identification associated with reporting the number of children and young people who access the Tier 4 CAMHS provision we have a policy of not disclosing the figure.
In addition to new referrals and assessments during this period, community CAMHS has approximately 800 children, young people and families already open to them.
