Young people are struggling to get the help they need for mental health problems, says a report.
The EPI report, based on Freedom of Information responses from mental health service providers in England, warned of"patchy" provision for children and young people and a system"under great strain".
The most common reason for the rejection of 26% of referrals to child and adolescent mental health services was because children's conditions were not suitable for treatment or they"did not meet eligibility criteria". David Laws, institute chairman and former education minister, said progress has been"hugely disappointing".
