Public Audit Committee

“Community justice: Sustainable alternatives to custody”

Meeting date: 28 October 2021

Colin Beattie

Yet stakeholders and Audit Scotland have expressed concerns.

You mean Community Justice Scotland carrying on with what it has been doing before, which has not really given the hoped-for results.

Data is essential, but if people do not necessarily fully understand the responsibilities and areas of accountability and so forth, you have a fundamental problem right from the start. It seems that the softly, softly approach behind the scenes over a number of years has not delivered. There must therefore be a need to revisit that to see what needs to be done to pull it together.

“Covid-19 vaccination programme”

Meeting date: 28 October 2021

Colin Beattie

Do you know why it has not been published?

Have any NHS boards developed their own health inequalities impact assessments?

Public Audit Committee

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services

Meeting date: 7 October 2021

Colin Beattie

Okay. We have established that CAMHS referrals have dropped by 17 per cent, and the suggestion is that that is possibly due to school closures and limited access to GPs, rather than a reduction in overall demand. To what extent is there an unknown backlog of cases that are not yet being seen by CAMHS? I put that to Alex Cumming first.

I will follow up on that in a second, but if CAMHS referrals are down 17 per cent and three times as many people are waiting for referrals over a year, does that imply that CAMHS capacity has reduced during the pandemic? Is that a core issue?
