Mental health is a key concern for young people in Lancashire
YOUNG people have told of their concerns for health and wellbeing in a survey.
Self-harming was the top issue amongst children and young people in Lancashire, with 40.31 per cent of participants responding.
This was closely followed by experiencing a mental health condition, with 40.19 per cent of people relating to it.
Healthwatch Blackburn with Darwen and Healthwatch Lancashire were commissioned by East Lancashire CCG as part of the Pennine Lancashire Transformation Programme.
The survey gathered the views and experiences of those aged eight to 25, as part of the engagement carried out to develop the draft Pennine Plan for health and care in the area.
