Request

“I am writing to request the following information to support in the transformation of our service and to develop networks:

How many learning disability child and adolescent mental health services are there within Scotland?

Where are these teams located, and could we please have contact details?

What is the size of the population serviced by each of these teams?

What clinical disciplines are in each of these services? How many of each banding?

Do they offer prescribing of psychotropic medication? – is this then completed by psychiatry or non-medical prescribers?

What age range do the teams work with?.”
