Councillor organises community meetings to improve ‘failing’ West Dunbartonshire's child mental health services

A campaigning councillor has organised two more community meetings aimed at improving ‘failing’ children’s mental health services in West Dunbartonshire.

Deputy council leader Michelle McGinty - who last year accused West Dunbartonshire’s Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) of “fudging” figures, to reduce waiting lists - held an open meeting with parents of children on CAMHS waiting lists earlier this month.

The Leven ward member told the Lennox she was ‘horrified’ by some of the stories, but hopes to work with the community and West Dunbartonshire’s HSCP to improve services for local youngsters.
