Children’s mental health services 2021-2022

Children’s mental health services 2021-2022 This report looks to understand what is happening in children’s mental health provision. Using new figures sourced from NHS England and NHS Digital, it examines spending on children’s mental health, numbers of children referred to and accessing CYPMHS and waiting times between referral and treatment (having a second contact with CYPMHS)

This data is the first available since services were widely re-opened after the pandemic and shows a surging demand for help. 

The welcome progress that has been made in recent years on improving children’s access to the right support is struggling to keep up with this demand – with waiting times increasing in the first time in years. Children's Commissioner
