Accelerating and sharing good practice in co-commissioning
arrangements for child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS)
i. On 11 December 2014, NHS England announced
eight CCG-led pilots aimed at accelerating and sharing good practice
in co-commissioning arrangements for children and young people's
mental health issues, as part of a £500k fund by NHS England
and the Department of Health.
ii. CCGs in NEW Devon, Derbyshire, Newcastle,
Tameside and Glossop, Norfolk, Southampton, Wolverhampton and
South Sefton have been awarded up to £75k to develop their
plans. The funding will be spent creating time for staff to reassess
the systems in place to commission Child and Adolescent Mental
Health Services from schools up to inpatient beds and try to effect
change through new ideas. Further detail is available on the NHS
England website:
