How many referrals have there been into child and adolescent mental health services in your area at a) primary care level and b) secondary care level in the calendar years 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 to date. Year to date Grand Total Total 10,280 12,067 9,662 4,370 36,379 Please note, the business area advised the changing patterns of referrals is a result of streamlining processes in services. Historically, for example, there would be dual referrals to consultants as well as core CAMHS, so this will appear as a duplication in recording.
