How will the trust address the long waiting lists for Camhs? Many children are struggling due to the very long waiting lists and it’s not acceptable.
Liz Mellor advised the Trust recognised there were some waiting times for some parts of Children and Young Persons (CYP) services and this was not acceptable and some increase in demand was visible at various parts of the CYP pathway. To address this the Trust were implementing a number of new initiatives which included, increased recruitment, better use of technology for greater access, investment in commissioning and working with partner organisations and meeting demands in different and more innovative ways as part of transforming services.
