Notice Title

HCC - 07/23 - Pre-Procurement Market Engagement for the provision of Alternative Therapies Service for Children and Young People

Notice Description

It is nationally recognised that by identifying and providing support to Children and Young People (CYP) as soon as difficulties emerge, outcomes are significantly improved. There is also a significant blind spot about support outside NHS specialist mental health services. While specialist mental health services are under pressure, it is vital that those planning and designing services understand what happens to the children and young people turned away from specialist services. This includes whether they are able to access alternative services or other forms of support outside the NHS, or whether they deteriorate to the point of needing more intensive care. Emerging evidence suggests that Complementary and Alternative Medicine can be beneficial for various mental health issues.
