Some children need specialist help after suffering trauma
Some children in Northamptonshire who need specialist help after suffering trauma are having to wait for more than a year for treatment. A senior manager at Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust conceded some waits are “too long”.
She said the impact of Covid has led to an “exponential” increase of referrals and that some children who have “moderate to severe” problems are “more acutely unwell” than before. “For very specific trauma work we have waits that are in excess of a year. Any wait is too long. Most of the referrals that are coming into our core CAMHS , which is the moderate to severe end, are for low mood and anxiety," she told a meeting of members of NHFT.
