Children who reach the standards to be accepted by CAMHS - that is about 2% of the 1.2 million children in the country at the moment - get into the multidisciplinary team where psychology is provided for them, if that is required, by the multidisciplinary team, which includes psychiatry, psychology, clinical nurse specialists, social workers and so on. Psychology under primary care sits outside that for children who may not need the moderate or acute care CAMHS provides. That is where the challenge is.
