Thousands of Northamptonshire’s abused children let down by lack of NHS mental health plans

Thousands of Northamptonshire’s abused children let down by lack of NHS mental health plans More than 21,000 children in Northamptonshire who have been abused or neglected are not covered by adequate NHS plans for their mental health needs, new NSPCC research estimates.

The charity analysed the latest annual plans published by NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) which set out how they will care for children’s mental health and found that, across England, 88 per cent were failing to properly plan for the needs of vulnerable children including those who had been abused.
