While the NHS has worked to improve information on its activity and spending, significant data weaknesses are hampering its understanding of progress. Slow progress on workforce expansion to deliver NHS services is also emerging as a major risk to delivery.\u00a0 It calls for the\u00a0government to ensure a coherent and coordinated cross-sector response, and that the right levers are in place to ensure local actions deliver the national ambitions. It has started to tackle issues of parity of esteem between physical and mental health services for children and young people, but it still has a long way to go, particularly as demand may be higher than originally thought, and an increased focus on mental health may uncover greater demand. Given these weaknesses and uncertainties, we conclude that the government cannot demonstrate that it has yet delivered value for money.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/allcatsrgrey.org.uk\/wp\/download\/public_health\/mental_health\/Improving-children-and-young-peoples-mental-health-services.pdf?platform=hootsuite#new_tab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to view the full report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Audit Office, October 2018 This report forms part of The National Audit Office\u2019s wider programme of work on mental health, following their 2016 report\u00a0Mental health services: preparations for access\u00a0and our 2017 report\u00a0Mental health in prisons.\u00a0It examines whether the government is on track to meet its ambitions for children and young people\u2019s services, taking\u00a0Future in &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/lancashirecarelibraryblog\/2018\/10\/18\/improving-children-and-young-peoples-mental-health-services\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Improving children and young people\u2019s mental health services&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[35],"tags":[1221],"class_list":["post-22601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-camhs","tag-child-mental-health"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/lancashirecarelibraryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/lancashirecarelibraryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/lancashirecarelibraryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/lancashirecarelibraryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/lancashirecarelibraryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/lancashirecarelibraryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22601\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/lancashirecarelibraryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/lancashirecarelibraryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/lancashirecarelibraryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
