Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether the proposed Green Paper on children's mental health will include proposals for the introduction of waiting time targets across children and young people's specialist mental health services.
The Conservative manifesto contained a commitment that we will improve Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services so that all children with serious conditions will be seen within an appropriate timeframe. We plan to bring forward proposals in the Green Paper on children’s and young people’s mental health by the end of the year.
