NHS England is to open up to 50 new children’s mental health beds and redistribute some of its currently commissioned beds after a review of services highlighted serious problems accessing care for acutely unwell children in parts of the country.
The move was announced as NHS England published the findings of its 135-page review into the state of tier 4 children’s mental health services. The review was launched in response to concerns over the quality of CAMHS care. Earlier this year an investigation by Community Care and BBC News revealed that children were being sent up to 275 miles for care or being admitted to adult mental health units due to problems accessing beds locally.
NHS England took on responsibility for commissioning CAMHS Tier 4 care in April 2013. Local GP commissioners retained a duty to commission community (tier 1 to 3) children’s mental health services.
