This is a matter for the National Health Service locally. NHS England advises that Coventry and Rugby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), is working along with South Warwickshire CCG, Warwickshire North CCG, Coventry City Council and Warwickshire County Council, on a joint review of the specifications for children and adolescent mental health services.

In the current financial year Coventry and Rugby CCG will put an additional £1.2 million towards the mental health services it commissions.
