I think it was Dr. Niazi who mentioned mental health services being more appropriate than primary care or vice versa. If a child is referred to the local CDNT, who makes the final decision as to which service is the best? Is it a full clinical team that decides the child would be better off within the CAMHS or staying within the CDNT?
