Meeting: 25/09/2008 - Children's Trust (Item 39)

Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services

A presentation will be made by representatives from the Haringey Teaching Primary Care Trust.  

Minutes:

The Board was due to receive a presentation on Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).

 

However, following concerns that the presentation provide was not sufficiently focussed on strategic issues, it was agreed that it should be deferred until the next meeting. The Board requested that key information such as an overview of the services provided by the MHT for children and young people and the number of individuals treated should be provided.

 

The Cabinet Member for Children and Young People noted that as one of the Boards targets related to CAMHS it was vital that it was advised of how many children and young people accessed Mental Health Services. She also noted that all Partners should focus on outcomes and the action required to achieve these.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That a presentation should be made by CAMHS at the Boards next meeting focussing on strategic issues and how LAA targets would be met.
