Jump in children's mental health referrals

There's been a massive rise in the number of children referred to mental health services this year. 

A Freedom of Information request to Manx Care revealed there's been a 65 percent increase on 2023. 

Between January and August last year there were 491, but this year that figure has leapt to 815. 

The reason for the rise is unknown.
