Waitlisting 0 to 3 year olds seldom occurs because of the clinical imperative to provide immediate treatment. (8) There are no children in this age group on waiting lists.

The Consultation Liaison Services at Princess Margaret Hospital largely provide assessment and treatment to children between the ages of 0 to 3 years. Other Child and Adolescent Mental Health services also provide a response to this age group and similarly there are no formal criteria for acceptance into treatment. (7) All clients referred to PMH Consultation Liaison services will be seen within 24 hours. Urgent referrals to community CAMHS services are triaged and receive services within forty-eight hours (during business hours). Depending on the assessed level of acuity these referrals may be placed on a waitlist for further assessment and treatment, which currently requires a wait of between two to four months. Waitlisting 0 to 3 year olds seldom occurs because of the clinical imperative to provide immediate treatment. (8) There are no children in this age group on waiting lists.
