    Aryan Akhgar, aged 17, died on 6 March 2018 after hanging himself with the intent to take his own life. The report identified a gap in urgent mental health services for 16- and 17-year-olds in Sheffield: although an urgent response was recommended on 9 January 2018, the first visit by mental health professionals did not occur until 15 January 2018. The report also raised concern that funding for additional CAMHS resources was not guaranteed.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to guarantee funding to properly resource CAMHS

    Wider context from the report

    “5.1 A gap in services was identified for 16 and 17 years old’s with urgent mental health issues, such as Aryan had. On 9th January 2018, Aryan was assessed as requiring urgent mental health input, commencing the next day. This was not available as a service for under 18’s in Sheffield and Aryan did not receive any contact from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) until 15th January 2018. In evidence I was told that additional resources in the CAMHS service were close to agreement in order to prevent this kind of problem arising in the future. However, this would be subject to a commissioning process from the Clinical Commissioning Group for Sheffield which could not be guaranteed. 5.2 It was accepted in evidence by the Medical Director of the Sheffield Children’s Hospital on behalf of CAMHS that such additional resource was required. The delivery of the necessary funding to properly resource the CAMHS team was not guaranteed. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of urgent mental health service provision for 16- and 17-year-olds

    Wider context from the report

    “5.1 A gap in services was identified for 16 and 17 years old’s with urgent mental health issues, such as Aryan had. On 9th January 2018, Aryan was assessed as requiring urgent mental health input, commencing the next day. This was not available as a service for under 18’s in Sheffield and so a referral to Adult Mental Health Services was made in order to obtain this. The adult service refused to take the referral because Aryan was still a child. This gap in the provision between the two services meant that Aryan did not receive the urgent mental health input which he required and there is a risk that other under 18’s in his situation might also suffer the same problem. ”
