PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Mental Health Services: Children and Young People (19 July 2022)

This information is not held in the format requested as there are currently no waiting time standards for these services. Data is available where a waiting time standard is in place, including early intervention in psychosis and children and young people’s eating disorder service, which is available at the following link:

In February 2022, NHS England published the outcome of a consultation on the potential to introduce five new access and waiting time standards for mental health services, including for children, young people and their families and carers presenting to community-based mental health services to receive care within four weeks from referral. We are now working with NHS England on the next steps.
