Hammersmith and Fulham’s Child and
Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) provide
multi-disciplinary assessment, and therapeutic and
psychopharmacological interventions for children and young people
up to the age of 18 years. As a result of the move toward sovereign
borough arrangements in 2018, and the dissolution of Section 75
arrangements, contracts funded by the Local Authority have become
the responsibility of the Local Authority, while others remained
joint Local Authority / CCG contracts. We are therefore now working
to regularise Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s position
regarding those contracts for which it has retained funding and
responsibility, whether on a joint or sole basis.
