Fears that children with undiagnosed mental health conditions are “falling through the cracks” have been highlighted by a concerned West Dunbartonshire councillor as waiting times rise.
Earlier this year it was revealed that while initial consultations can take up to 18 weeks, children and young people could then be waiting for up to three years before they are referred to a specialist for treatment.
The issue was addressed again during the most recent community planning meeting where members analysed the work of the nurtured delivery and improvement group (DIG) which aims to ensure all children have the best start in life and are ready to succeed.
