Mrs. Brooke

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many specialist psychiatric centres specifically for children and adolescents with mental health problems there are in England and Wales; where they are located; how many consultant paediatric psychiatrists and psychologists work in them; what plans he has to develop further such centres; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Ladyman

Information is not collected in the format requested. The 2002 child id adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) mapping exercise identified 732 CAMHS teams in England. The teams ranged from those serving a local community, a regional service and those with a national remit. As of 30 December 2003, there were 461 whole-time equivalent consultants in England working in the speciality of child and adolescent psychiatry.

The national service framework for children, due to be published later this year, will outline how a comprehensive child and adolescent mental health service may be provided. However, how these services are delivered is best decided locally.

Information on the situation in Wales is the responsibility of the Welsh Assembly.

Mrs. Brooke

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many representations he has received in relation to (i) waiting lists for appointments with child psychologists and (ii) shortages of educational psychologists in mainstream and special needs schools in England in each year since 2001; and if he will make a statement.
