In 2004-05 CAMHS funding to councils will be increased substantially to reflect the Government's continuing commitment to radically improve the overall level of provision. The total 2004-05 CAMHS Grant is £67M. Of this £60.5M is allocated directly to councils using the children's Formula Spending Share (FSS). The balance is used to fund specific projects and central initiatives as set out in paragraph 11. The £60.5M payable direct to councils (the 'core' grant) represents an increase of about £16M above the amount allocated for 2003-04. This circular sets out the conditions attached to the core CAMHS Grant, and the individual councils' allocations.
