Improve Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services in Scotland

Create a Scotland wide CAMHS service that is accessible 24/7 to protect our young people and increase numbers of inpatient beds in more areas or decrease admissions by implementing nurse led Intensive Services Scotland wide.

Why is this important?

Children requiring CAMHS services are made to wait months for initial appointment then even longer for assessment.

There are NO out of hours services for children and adolescents out with Edinburgh and Glasgow meaning children in crisis are kept in paediatric wards with NO trained staff.

There is currently only ONE small inpatient unit in Scotland which can admit children under 12 which cannot usually take acute admissions due to lack of beds and staff.
