Redbridge mental health services are seeing a “disturbing” rise in under-fives needing treatment during lockdown.
At a meeting of Redbridge Council’s health and wellbeing board meeting on March 1, one councillor predicted there will be “a tsunami” of young people needing treatment in the coming months due to the pandemic.
Redbridge’s mental health service, run by the NHS North East London Foundation Trust, is still struggling to recruit enough staff to run the service, even after correcting its “historically” low funding.
