England's child mental health services 'failing three-quarters of kids'

Elizabeth Prewitt PACEsConnection writer 5/20/1412:00 PM

Only a quarter of children with mental health conditions are receiving the treatment they need, according to a study produced by the body charged with improving the health service in England.

An internal presentation, produced by NHS England and shared with the Observer, paints a picture of a service in crisis, according to one charity, because of budget cuts and increasing demand. It notes that "multiple reviews have identified the same problems".
