The Government are making an additional £84 million available over three years from April 1999 to improve provision of appropriate, high-quality care and treatment for children and young people by building up locally based child and adolescent mental health services. These services address a range of child and adolescent mental health problems, including emotional and behavioural disorders such as attention deficit disorder, phobias and depression.
