The information is not available in the format requested.

NHS Digital publishes information on the number of child and adolescent psychiatrists in the National Health Service in NHS trusts and clinical commissioning groups in England each month. This data will not include those working for other employers such as local authorities and the private sector. Nor does it include bank and agency staff, or staff working in primary care.

The statistics are not broken down by individual constituencies, local authorities or staff working in a specific county as NHS trusts cross county borders.
