Agenda item

A presentation from the Integration Programme Manager.

Members received a presentation from Devora Wolfson, Programme Director, Integrated Commissioning, City and Hackney CCG.

In response to questions, Members noted that there wasn’t a dedicated workstream for mental health as it was covered by all of them.  The rise in the number of children and young people with mental health issues was discussed and Members noted that CAMHS (Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services) were working on a model for young people up to 25 years, in consultation with schools and community groups, so as to avoid a ‘dip’ once a young person reached adulthood.  Members also noted that the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) were spending more comparatively in this area and it was a key objective of the Mayor of London.

The Chairman and Members thanked the Programme Director for an insightful presentation.
