A new £13m child and adolescent mental health unit is set to be built in Leeds after it was announced as one of 12 successful bids to receive NHS England capital funds in the recent budget.
Building work is expected to begin in 2018 once the preferred site has been confirmed with NHS England.
The successful bid, led by Leeds Community Health Care NHS Trust on behalf of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Partnership, will see a new purpose-built specialist community child and adolescent mental health (CAMHS) unit to support young people suffering complex mental illness, for example severe personality and eating disorders.
There are currently eight general adolescent beds which are provided by Leeds Community NHS Healthcare Trust in Leeds. This new unit will bring a significant increase and provide 18 specialist places and four psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU) beds.
