Mr. Jim Ryan:

We will never say no to additional funding. However, as we said earlier, we need to make sure we are not almost cannibalising our own services. The people who work in CAMHS have to come from somewhere. We have to grow more to be able to do more. There is an emphasis on making sure that we are making the best of what we have, rather than saying that we will put in more. One concern over the last few years is that when we have put in new additional services, it has denuded some of our core services because they are promotional posts, new posts and specialist posts, which means they are coming from our existing posts or services. We need to be careful about doing that. We need to grow the base before we grow the other elements of the service or do both in tandem.
