(asked on 2nd December 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what funding has been provided for child and adolescent mental health services each year since 2010.
The aggregated primary care trust (PCT) spend on child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) in England since 2010 is set out in the following table. The figures outline what PCTs have spent but do not indicate the amount of funding provided by the Department. The figures in the table have been rounded to the nearest £ million:
2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 | 2013-14 |
713 | 713 | 704 | Not yet available |
However, this does not include:
- spend by local authorities, including children’s services and schools’ expenditure on early intervention or emotional resilience programmes;
- £54 million invested by the Department over the four years from 2011-12 to 2014-15 in the Children and Young People’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme; and
- The £150 million investment over five years for NHS England in CAMHS for the treatment of eating disorders.
