Child and Adolescent Needs Assessment (CAMHS)

A CAMHS Needs Assessment was completed to inform the work of the NoS CAMHS workstream. The needs assessment was commissioned by the North of Scotland Planning Group at the request of the Chief Executives through the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Project Board. The needs assessment was intended to inform the strategic decision making required for the  development of Tier 4 services for inpatient (specialist adolescent mental health inpatient unit or age appropriate psychiatric care in a paediatric or adult hospital) and community based adolescent mental health services across the North of Scotland Boards.
