CAMHS are saying that they do not want these referrals on their lists or to be publishing figures with big, long waiting lists. Unfortunately, everything seems to fall back on the CDNTs. They have huge waiting lists. CAMHS waiting lists, however, look quite moderate, but they are whitewashing their figures to make them look moderate. They are just brushing everything back on the CDNTs. A root-and-branch review of CAMHS is needed. It is not working at the moment.
