Dr. Amanda Burke:

Each clinician has to be confident in the diagnosis of a young person, particularly if he or she is going to prescribe a treatment regime as the result of an assessment. Every clinician would validate an assessment. In CAMHS, we do multidisciplinary team assessments. We triage the referrals and then they are allocated to team members, depending on the presenting symptoms. We are looking at buying in, however, and we have engaged very actively.
