Mr. Jim Ryan:

There are 71 child and adolescent mental health teams. A Vision for Change states there should be 13 members on a team. Approximately 60% of the 71 teams have 13 members and, therefore, we are not at full membership.

Adult teams comprise approximately seven individuals. The professionals who are represented on the teams are consultant psychiatrists, non-consultant hospital doctors, nurses, social care workers, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and psychologists. There is a broad range of therapeutic, medical and nursing staff.
