To include updates on

·         Horton HOSC

·         Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHs)

·         Muscular Skeletal Services (MSK)

·         Process and learning around suicide

Barbara Shaw stated that she was impressed with the responses on CAMHS.  She noted the increasing levels of mental health needs among children and expressed concern that this was eventually going to feed through to higher demands on adult mental health services which are already stretched.

The Chairman responded that it was unclear whether there was really an increase in mental health problems or whether more issues were emerging because people are more comfortable talking about their mental health now.
