Response
Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) response:
This information is not currently held as a central record of data. The Department would need to review each individual case note of every adult that has been referred to understand if a diagnosis was recorded. To do this would exceed the cost limit provisions allowed under Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 and the 12.5 hours limit allowed under regulation 2 (1) of the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014.
Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) response:
