Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many young people have been taken off waiting lists for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) services without receiving treatment from CAMHS in each NHS board in each year since 1999.
Answer
This data is not centrally available; aggregated data for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Waiting Times is sent to PHS from each NHS Board. It does not contain explicit information on the number of young people removed from the waiting list without receiving treatment. It reports on the number of referrals for young people to services; numbers waiting to start treatment and total waiting; rejected / not accepted referral and Did Not Attend status numbers for 1st contact appointments; and the time between referral and first treatment.
