I am not trying to undermine confidence in the services. There is vital work going on daily.

It is common sense that all staff were trained in risk and crisis management given the service CAMHS provide. The report states it is not a priority but I would have thought it would have been a priority at that time.

Anti-psychotic drugs were mentioned by some of the members. One of the recommendations of the report is that guidelines should be drawn up. What was the protocol for prescribing these powerful mood-altering drugs previously and were there any central guidelines that were not followed up? One of my colleagues here mentioned a particular case but I am sure there are others. Among these 227 children, there was a number of worries in relation to the drugs that they were prescribed. What is the protocol for prescribing these powerful drugs? What was it in the past? What changes now or are there any changes in relation to them?
