I understand that and I understand there are manpower problems. I totally understand all of this. I understand they are not second guessing clinical decisions. I am only concerned about the patients and I am afraid people are falling through the cracks who should not be and they are not getting the appropriate services. Sometimes the way the child and adolescent mental health service communicates to families can be seen as flippant to the concerned parents of a teenager who might be in trouble.

That perhaps requires a review.
