FOI 1742 – Children’s Mental Health Services

Response

Date: 2 February 2023

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION – DECISION NOTICE

Dear Sir / Madam,

FOI Reference Number: 1742

Can I please ask who the Children and Young Persons commissioner is for Glossop and contact details
I would like details of a NHS / Private Children and Young Persons psychologist – I am aware of the current waiting lists and feel that the waiting time will have a detrimental effect etc.

Trying to track a reputable service through the internet is difficult / impossible

I appreciate you cannot make recommendations about a private service. Therefore my request is based on a FOI do you contact / commission any children and young persons psychology outside of the NHS and with whom please

Our response:

I can confirm that Derby and Derbyshire ICB do commission services for children and young people in Glossop, however the specific relevant commissioner would depend on which service you are interested in. Please feel free to contact the ICB at ddicb.enquiries@nhs.net if you would like to contact a commissioner of a particular service.

Please see below extract from our records showing details of some of the possible mental health services that might be helpful to you, of which we have some commissioning experience. This information does not indicate endorsement.

[Please see letter response for extract info.]

I hope that this answers your queries with the information we currently hold, but if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your original letter and should be addressed to:
