The real frustration is particularly around weekend and out-of-hours access to mental health services. Perhaps I am wrong about some parts of the country, but I still find it alarming that on-call consultants are available in adult out-of-hours mental health services, but the same on-call consultants are not available for child mental health. They are both paid the same amount of money. I cannot understand why both sets of consultants do not provide the same service.
