The Education Policy Institute (EPI) says 133,000 were introduced in The Past year, including the people who hurt or abuse experienced.

to cover The Report warns the average waiting time of almost two months, and a system to fight the demand.

An NHS spokesman rejected The Report as "flawed analysis".

"The NHS is actually in front of his opponent on the position as many of the children's Mental Health will see an additional 53,000 children, Young People and young adults in The Past year, an increase of 14% compared to the previous year," said NHS spokesman.

The NHS is accused, The Report on the misleading measurements - argument That it is wrong, don't assume That Young People were in treatment from NHS Mental Health services "on your own", but as the first aims to support elsewhere.

The EPI report, the impact on freedom of Information responses from Mental Health service providers in England, warned of a "mess" of concern for children and Young People , and a system of "strong".

"There is a large gap in the treatment, which means That the needs of hundreds of thousands of Young People in England are not met," said report author Whitney Crenna-Jennings.
