Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services

I appreciate my hon. Friend’s speech very much. He has put a thought in my mind about a point that the hon. Member for Totnes also raised about early intervention. Given that the cuts to other local authority front-line services have been worse than decimated in places such as Stoke-on-Trent, those services that would have been early intervention-type services—and, indeed, pre-early intervention services—are just not there any more.
