Action speaks louder is perhaps the maxim that government should live by; that government should have as their desktop screensaver or written on post it’s on ministerial fridges. It’s came to mind when Theresah May made her Milibandesque inaugural speech as prime minister, and it came to mind again last week when Jeremy Hunt told us that the NHS is failing Britain’s young people on mental health. “Too many tragedies” occur because of weaknesses in the children and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), Hunt said. It’s a popular opinion. So popular in fact, that people who work in CAMHS have been saying it for years. Ditto the individuals who use the service, or would use the service if they were not languishing on waiting lists. Or those who are put off even trying to enter the system, or don’t know what help is available. Not to mention the parents and guardians of these of these young people. 11.
