Good afternoon Rachael,
Please be advised that we do not provide CAMHS services within our organisation. This service was transferred to Sussex Partnership Trust in 2012. It has subsequently been transferred to North East London Foundation Trust, which took place in around 2018.
I have provided below the FOI details for both organisations if you wish to pursue the information from them.
