Improving mental health outcomes for children and young people: How do we really transform services? The King's Fund conference

Summary

In March 2015, Norman Lamb MP launched 'Future in Mind' at The King’s Fund, and the government committed to spending an extra £1.25 billion on Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) funding over the next five years. Six months on, this conference provided a key opportunity to examine the progress that had been made in transforming service provision and commissioning.
