Ms Lynn Carrington, Designated Nurse, stated that a new named doctor had started in December and a new designated doctor would also be starting as well, but no start date had yet been defined. The team had been subject to higher levels of sick leave than usual resulting in backlog. There was optimism that the target would be reached by the end of March 2023.

A regular report would be submitted to the Committee as part of a standing item for the aspects of services including the Designated Doctor, Designated Children in Care Health Team. The new named and the new designated doctors would be invited to attend meetings.

The Committee would be provided with feedback of young people’s experiences of CAMHS.
