Access to child and adolescent mental health services in 2019 The Education Policy Institute (EPI) has published its Annual Report on access to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS).
The study examines access to specialist services, waiting times for treatment, and provision for the most vulnerable children in England.
The research is based on new data obtained using freedom of information (FOI) requests to mental health providers and local authorities over the course of a year. This data is not published by the NHS.
The majority of lifelong mental health problems develop early on, during childhood or adolescence. The wider economic costs of mental ill health in England are vast, estimated at £105bn each year.
