Part of 2. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:58 pm on 21 June 2016.
Well, no, that’s not correct. Extra money has gone into CAMHS. CAMHS, in some ways, was the victim of its own success at the beginning. Once it was known that the service was there, GPs were far more able to refer into CAMHS, and, indeed, it’s right to say that demand did become quite high. We then took steps, of course, to make sure the funding was available in order to meet that demand, and I fully expect to see waiting times reduce over time, as the money flows through the system.
