Motion text

That this House welcomes the publication of the British Medical Association's (BMA) report on child and adolescent mental health; notes with alarm its findings that children from poorer backgrounds, children in care, asylum-seeker children and those who have witnessed domestic violence are all at a much higher risk of developing mental health problems; congratulates the BMA on its recommendation that looked after children's mental health problems should be a Government priority; believes that inequalities in the black and minority ethnic community need to be addressed as does the stigma and discrimination mental ill health sufferers face; further believes that children and young people need innovative and flexible health services that suit their ages and lifestyles; recognises that current strategies for addressing child and adolescent mental health problems must be more robust; and therefore calls on the Government to continue to improve child and adolescent mental healthcare.
