The number of children waiting at least a year for mental health treatment has almost trebled since the pandemic hit. In March 2020 there were 695 young people waiting at least 52 weeks for their first appointment with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). New figures show that by March this year the figure was 2,012.
