It cannot just be an audit to see if there are more rogue operators. The audit has to be based on the issue of resources around the country and the fact that CAMHS operates in silos. Most of all, the checks and balances are not there from a clinical point of view. According to the report, "The service has not implemented many of the recommendations of the CAMHS Standard Operating Procedure 2015 or the subsequent CAMHS Operational Guideline 2019." Why? Who is accountable for the fact that this was actually pointed out? It was 2015 and 2019. Why did somebody not ask what was going on there?

In our day-to-day working lives as Deputies, we can see that it is not possible to get to the bottom of required information at critical times. These services were operating as silos. There was no clinical governance. No consultant psychiatrist was appointed since 2016. Did nobody shout "what the hell is going on here?"
