About: Community Mental Health Services / CAMHS (Child & Adolescent MH service) Stirling

(as a parent/guardian),

My child was referred May 2021. I am still waiting to be seen. I called today to be told my child went on the list June 2022 and wont be seen till 2025. What happened to the referral in 2021? We lost a year till she went on the list and why a 3 yr wait? I also asked to add another diagnosis to her notes and was told no. I'm at a loss on what to do.

Dear mumtomine,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback to our service. All feedback is useful and welcomed. I am sorry to learn that your experience hasn't been what you would have expected. The waits for our service remain too long and we are working extremely hard to remedy this. I would be grateful if you could make contact with the service to discuss these issues further.

Thank you once again for taking the time to write to us

Yours faithfully

Lesley Dunabie
