Health written question – answered at on 12 June 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many secure places there are in the South West region for children with mental health conditions involving violent behaviour.
We are advised that there are no secure services for children commissioned by NHS England in the South West. There are services commissioned in other areas used by children from the South West area.
We understand that NHS England has identified a number of actions needed to reduce the number of long distance transfers within the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, and is currently considering how to take this forward including any necessary tendering for services in due course.
