A Government climb-down over mental health provision for children has been welcomed by local LibDem MP, Lorely Burt.
"This U-turn by the Government is long overdue. I and my Liberal Democrat colleagues have been pressing the Government for these vital changes in both the Commons and Lords.
"Many children are forced to choose between treatment on an adult ward or receiving no care at all. That is simply unacceptable.
"Children need a stable and secure environment to flourish - with specially trained staff to provide emotional, as well as medical, support. Adult wards will not provide this.
