For clarity, there is no embargo for newly trained graduate nurses into CAMHS. That is a fact. There are 130 staff currently being recruited across all CAMHS teams for youth mental health across the country. A preliminary notification was issued over the past two weeks to various CHOs across the country. There is a moratorium in place for certain posts, but not for consultants, graduate nurses or 130 dedicated staff members across several CAMHS teams. I put a geographical focus on that so that every part of the country would see an uplift.
