Professor Jim Lucey:

Yes, it would. I would go further and say that one of the problems we have is the difficulty in meeting the challenge of diversity, neurodiversity and the broader understanding of healthcare and mental health care difficulty and problems. The report makes clear that we have a system which is in danger of picking some issues and not responding sufficiently to others, whereas our human beings - our children - have complex holistic needs. If you have someone who has a mental health difficulty in one professional definition but might be excluded because they have a problem in another professional definition, you end up with a diversity in the wrong sense and a divergence of standard response. Some of the CAMHS took one view and others took another view. This is not a standard. What we need is a standard that accepts the wide breadth of need.
