Minutes:
45.1 This item was introduced by Gill Brooks, CCG Commissioning Manager, Children’s Health & Wellbeing.
45.2 Cllr Penn said that there were many positives from the first year of the transformation plan, including the development of the early intervention in eating orders service, and the I Am Whole campaign. However Tier 3 CAMHS (Children & Adolescent Mental Health Services) services, and in particular the 18 week waiting time, needs urgently addressing. Ms Brooks responded that this was recognised by both commissioners and providers. Work is underway to redesign the service by the end of 2017. A redesign of Tier 2 services is planned for 2018, and commissioners are currently looking at implementation of changes in East and West Sussex to identify learning points.
45.3 Pinaki Ghoshal told members that he endorsed the report and the work that commissioners have undertaken to date. It is important to acknowledge that nowhere has successful Tier 3 CAMHS services: the model does not work and there is an urgent need for change.
45.4 Graham Bartlett noted that the Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) was concerned about young people self-harming and being at risk of suicide. The LSCB has conducted four recent reviews of young people struggling with mental health problems. It is heartening to see that many of the review recommendations are addressed by the annual refresh of the transformation plan and by the excellent future programme of work. Ms Brooks noted that commissioners will always seek to learn from this type of review.
45.5 RESOLVED – That the Board approves the draft Children and Young People’s Mental Health Local Transformation Plan – annual refresh.
