Children and Young People's Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health

Services provided by Lancashire County Council play an important part in continuing to improve the resilience, emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) across Lancashire have established a project to redesign Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), to ensure that more children and young people are able to access NHS funded community services. Alongside this activity, the wider Lancashire Children and Young People's Resilience, Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health Transformation Programme will continue, to help ensure that all children and young people with a diagnosable mental health condition are able to receive appropriate support.  To ensure that the County Council remains well placed to contribute to this overall Transformation Programme, greater clarity is needed as to the future funding of services, which form a critical element of the overall system.
