The number and nature of Grenfell-related patient contacts with the NHS to date
Screening for PTSD has been provided for 822 adults who have been identified as having urgent need. There are 401 adults having treatment and 38 adults who have completed treatment.
A quarter of the adults referred to Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (201) have declined screening and/or treatment.
Since the date of the fire, 1,739 GP consultations involving 925 patients have been coded as Grenfell-related. This includes all the screening appointments.
As of 27 November, GPs had referred 16 people to the Grenfell specialist respiratory clinics. All these patients have pre-existing conditions such as COPD and asthma, which may have been exacerbated by stress.
To date, 173 children and young people affected by the fire have been referred to child and adolescent mental health services.
