Access to CAMHS for Individuals with Dual Diagnosis: Discussion
Dr. Amanda Burke:
I apologise; I missed that one. As somebody said earlier, they should not be turned away. We have robust systems whereby, if someone feels they have not been dealt with fairly, they can come back in with a complaint through Your Service Your Say and that will be looked at and responded to. We are saying clearly that young people with moderate to severe mental illness do belong to CAMHS. Some people may not meet those criteria but it behoves the services to say where their needs should be met.
