Abstract
This article provides an overview of the development of mental health services for children and young people (CAMHS) in England and Wales. It describes the early growth and gradual emergence of services to the forefront of national policy in recent years. The present position in relation to the national policy agenda and CAMHS development is assessed, and some conclusions are drawn about how services are likely to change in the future in response to a variety of influences. Comments and observations regarding the impact of policy on services are based on the author’s extensive experience of working as a consultant with CAMHS and on a database of information on over 40 specialist teams.
