Recommendation 17
17
Create clear, actionable plan to deliver comprehensive mental health offer for 0-25 year olds.
Recommendation
Despite nearly a decade of commitments, the transition from Children and Young People’s Mental Health Services (CYPMHS) to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS)—including Community Mental Health Services (CMHS)— remains a cliff edge and continues to fall short of what young people need. The Government, NHS England, and Integrated Care Boards must treat this issue as a national priority. We recommend that they create a clear, actionable plan as part of the formal response to the report, to deliver the promised “comprehensive offer for 0–25 year olds.” (Recommendation, Paragraph 114)
