CAMHS wants parents to only call when requested

A children's mental health service has asked for the public's help. 

The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service says there is an unprecedented demand for their service and a significant waiting list to be seen, and as a result they are receiving a large volume of calls. 

It's asking parents and guardians to limit their contact with the service to those requested by them or when it's required in order to keep their children safe.

It says this will allow their team to focus on reducing waiting times.
