The Committee’s inquiry will focus on mental health services for young people. It will be structured around a number of key questions that arose from members’ informal discussions with service providers and users. Those questions are—

• how children and adolescents potentially at risk of developing mental health problems are identified and how those problems should be prevented;
• what obstacles there are in identifying children and adolescents with mental health problems and how they might be overcome;
• what action is being taken to facilitate early intervention and what else can be done;
• how access to services and ongoing support can be improved; and
• what problems there are around transition from CAMHS to adult mental health services and how a smoother transition may be achieved?
