I agree. I will return to the 92.7% of urgent CAMHS cases that were responded to within three working days. Subsequently, the report states that a child will get an appointment for deliberate self-harm in 190 days; for suicidal intent, it is 60 days; it is over 200 days for suicidal ideation; and it is over 100 days for eating disorders. To return to the types of responses covered in that 92.7% figure, are these phone calls or a letter to a parent stating the child has been put on a waiting list? Is that the response?
