Current integration between community CAMHS and outpatient liaison services was seen as limited. Staff emphasised social care because social circumstances often delay discharge for young people with combined physical and mental health needs. The study says integration should include community services, outpatient care, education, and children’s social care. Both mental and physical health professionals wanted integration to extend beyond the hospital. Integration with education and other agencies was viewed as necessary.
