Eating Disorders
The Community Eating Disorder Service for children & young people was established in April 2016; provided by West London NHS Trust; based in Ealing.

anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, atypical anorexic and bulimic eating disorder.
- Delivers NICE concordant treatment and care via a multidisciplinary team,
including Family Therapy, CBT and Dietetics. In 2018/19, 16 young people from Hounslow accessed the service and 100% were seen within the prescribed waiting time: 1 week for urgent assessments and 4 weeks for routine assessments.

Early Help & Access
A number of service developments have been implemented to improve early intervention and access to specialist CAMHS for those who need it:
- Single Point of Access to CAMHS established in 2016 to simplify access for families and
referrers
- Investment in voluntary and community sector providers including MIND, Homestart and
Hounslow Youth Counselling Service, enabling access to support for c. 150 children per year who may not meet the threshold for CAMHS.
- Development of new posts in CAMHS, Child Wellbeing Practitioners, to provide
evidence-based interventions for mild to moderate mental health needs, increasing access to c. 100 young people per year and reducing Tier 2 CAMHS waiting times.
- Redesign of model of care in Tier 2 CAMHS, reducing the waiting time from 52 weeks to
5 weeks (now stabilising at under 12 weeks). For Tier 3 CAMHS, 79% of children are seen within 18 weeks (18/19 data).
- Selected as a national Trailblazer site to establish Mental Health Support Teams in
- schools. £1.2 m new funding from NHS; 3 teams East, Central and West based in hub
schools; providing early help.
- Exceeding the national access target to reach 34% of the estimated need in the
population.

Crisis Care
8
Incremental changes have taken place since 2015 to develop a 24/7 crisis care pathway for young people:
- Step 1: Providing Paediatric Liaison at West Mid, to ensure timely specialist
assessments, support and onward transition for young people with mental health needs who have been admitted
- Step 2: Establishing a CAMHS Out of Hours Service, providing specialist response for
young people who present at West Mid A&E out of hours
- Step 3: Working in partnership with NHS England on the New Models of Care (NMOC)
project to take on responsibility for managing Tier 4 inpatient admissions at a local level, reducing length of stay and reinvesting savings in the community crisis pathway.
- Step 4: Merging all of the above and introducing extra capacity for intensive support in the
community during extended daytime hours to reduce the need for A&E attendance – the CAMHS Alliance Team. Key outcomes include: Timely emergency response from a CAMHS specialist Reduction in need for Tier 4 admissions and length of stay Over time: reduced escalation of need to crisis point CAMHS Transformation Investment: £142,056 per year

Learning Disabilities & Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Focus on reducing the waiting time for assessment following doubling of demand between 2013 and 2018 to c. 800 referrals per year, and increase in waiting time to up to 2 years:
- Some investment 2016-18 and review of assessment
pathways to maximise efficiency
- Significant new investment (£1m+) agreed in 2019 to
clear static waiting list and achieve sustainable waiting time within 18 weeks from Dec 2020. Developed intensive Positive Behaviour support service for children with LD/ASD at risk
- f placement breakdown or hospital admission.
- £120k per annum for Behavioural Intensive Community Service (BICS)
- Successfully supported 16 young people to remain with their family and engage with
education between 2017 and 2019
- Dynamic Risk Register in place for multi-disciplinary planning for ‘at risk’ young people

What’s in the plan for 2019/20?
Priority Area Plans for 2019/20 Early Help & Access
- Implementation of Mental Health Support Teams in
schools

e.g. Kooth, Healios Learning Disabilities & Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Continue efforts to recruit specialist staff following the
new investment to address the waiting time
- Recommissioning the behaviour support service with
increased capacity for early intervention Crisis Care
- Continue to engage with NMOC project to reduce Tier 4
admissions and use the savings to further develop the Alliance Team with increased staffing and a crisis line. Vulnerable Groups
- Review outcomes of targeted services to support
continued investment
- Refresh needs analysis

How do we compare?
- Exceeding our access target; unlike many other London
boroughs/ other areas nationally
- Shorter waiting times for Tier 2 CAMHS than national average
- Shorter waiting times for Tier 3 CAMHS than national average
- Waiting times for neurodevelopmental assessments are slightly
worse than the national average
- Fewer admissions to Tier 4 beds than other London boroughs
- Data quality has significantly improved in this area and the Trust
is now able to demonstrate on a monthly basis that clinical
- utcomes are improving consistently between referral and
- discharge. Year to date data for Hounslow CCG indicates 99.3%
- f discharged cases had outcome measures completed and
66.7% showed improvement in clinical outcomes.
- Increased funding for Early Intervention through Mental Health
Support Teams- one of just 25 sites nationally and good practice highlighted through national attention.

SLIDE 13
What still needs to be improved?
- Bringing down waiting times for particular services
- Overcoming workforce shortages and recruitment challenges
– this is now the main limiting factor rather than funding
- Focussing on health inequalities and vulnerable groups
- Continuing to engage with young people, families and
partner organisations
- Exploring opportunities for use of digital platforms to
increase access

SLIDE 14
Priorities going forward in line with the NHS Long Term Plan
Reducing neurodevelopmental assessment waiting times Improving behaviour support services for families with children with ASD and/or LD Ensuring provision for vulnerable groups Maintaining all CAMHS Transformation projects from 2015-2020 as business as usual Developing CAMHS as a 0-25 Service
