Michael Rutter Centre for Children and Adolescents
The Michael Rutter Centre for Children and Adolescents is based at the Maudsley Hospital, a psychiatric hospital run by the National Health Service NHS. Named after Sir Michael Rutter, it caters for children suffering from mental health issues such as anorexia. In 1994 it was estimated that at least 10% of children suffering from mental health problems required specialist facilities, but only 1-1.5% of children were being referred. (Garralda, M.E. 1994).[1] Parry-Jones described Child Mental Health Services as the 'Cinderella Service' (Parry-Jones, W. 1992).[2]
