Mental Health Services: Pupils
(asked on 10th March 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the average waiting time for school children seeking to access mental health services in Sheffield in each of the last five years.
This question was answered on 13th March 2020
We have not yet made such an assessment, as a national access and waiting times standard for children and young people’s health services has not yet been defined.
We are piloting a new four-week waiting time for children and young people’s mental health services in 12 areas and to inform the development of a new national access and waiting times standard.
