CAMHS has worked and there is clearly an argument that increasing funding to ensure the service copes with increasing demand will help the service to meet outcomes and reduce waiting times. However, there is a clear need to ensure the support needed by those who are suffering can easily receive the help required in a timely and familiar environment. Dumfries and Galloway Council Youth Work Services are helping to meet the non-educational needs of young people in schools as some Pupil Equity Funding from secondary schools is used to fund services which are similar to that of youth work. This funding has helped to ensure that young people are assisted and if needed signposted to relevant organisations including CAMHS. It has also helped to ensure early intervention in mental health cases. While the initiative is fairly new it is helping to change services for the better.

Doctors and nurses are guaranteed their salaries for turning up for work. What guarantees do the people.have? I think an overhaul is needed ASAP!

I think patients are turned away due to lack of funds. And why would that be? After all it is NATIONAL health! So why are the problems experienced more in Scotland???

The mental health services are over stretched and the NHS and the government needs to do something to improve the situation the waiting list for counseling in Dundee is very long .

David Ramsay lost his life due to NHS failings. We, as a family, have been torn apart by this. our daughter, Gilly, has fought tirelessly and managed to get an inquiry into NHS Tayside Mental Health Services. We have met with Karen and heard from others across Scotland and are aware that these failings are not unique to Tayside (although it is our view that clearly there is something far wrong at Carseview Centre, the volume of deaths says it all).

In my work I deal with people who struggle with mental health issues every day. This should be a priority.

From experience it feels like the NHS and social services are failing those most in need and things are only going to get worse. A full review of all mental health services is needed.
