Chairman:

What proportion of the CHO 1 budget is allocated to CAMHS services? When Mr. Hayes spoke about the projects that are coming up, he said it is hoped that a new 26 bed unit will open next year. How can that happen if there are such problems with recruitment? When Mr. Hayes spoke about overall staffing levels, he said that the CHO 1 area has 941 whole-time equivalent staff. Given that he can really only account for 156 staff for the general adult teams, 46 staff for the CAMHS teams and 35 staff for the psychiatry of later life teams, it seems that 702 staff are not accounted for. When it is not possible to get staff, what happens to the money that is allocated for recruitment? I have asked a few questions. Mr. Hayes's answers might be of interest to Deputy McLoughlin.
