Closed petition Improve mental health services for neurodiverse young people
We call on the Government to increase funding for NHS Child and Adolescents Mental Health Services to enable early diagnosis, intervention, treatment and support for children who are neurodiverse. We believe CAMHS requires more funding to improve staffing, treatment and care problems.
More details
We believe NHS children and adolescent mental health services are failing our children with neurodiversity, and that early intervention, diagnosis, treatment and support are integral to enabling them to thrive. We believe that the Government is underfunding these services, putting the health and wellbeing of our young people at tremendous risk.

Children's Health: debate in Parliament
On 10 July, MPs debated children's health in Parliament.
This was a Backbench Business debate led by Dr Simon Opher MP. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Ashley Dalton MP, responded on behalf of the Government.
Explainer
Backbench Business debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.
They are a way to:
- raise awareness of an issue
- seek to influence government policy
- put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.
They do not generally involve a vote on a particular action or decision.
