An increasing number of under-18s with mental health problems in England are being treated on adult psychiatric wards, it has emerged.
And many children are having to travel hundreds of miles across the country to receive hospital treatment.
Treating young people in such units should only happen in exceptional circumstances. The Department of Health had promised this would stop by 2010.
The DoH said children and young people's mental health was a priority.
