Request and Response
  1. How many times has the 18 week target for CAMHS been met in the past ten years?
  2. How many times has the 18 week target for CAMHS been breached in the past ten calendar years?
  3. What are the average wait times to be seen by CAMHS in the past ten calendar years?

We have ready access to data only as far back as June 2015 which is not the ten year period that you require.

Our data that we have to hand in line with the data that we have transmitted to Scottish Government is held in weeks, not days.

With that in mind:

Q1 In the period June 2015 – September 2024 the target has been met 665 times

Q2 In the period June 2015 – September 2024 the target has been breached 90 times

Q3 In the period June 2015 – September 2024 the average wait time from referral to treatment was 10.5 weeks
