Selective quoting

 It's long been a practice in film marketing to extract the positive sounding bits from otherwise dire reviews of films to slap onto the marketing material, so "a breathtaking piece of stupidity" will become "Breathtaking"!"

The DCSF seems to be doing similar things with its own marketing blurb, aka press releases. YoungMinds has issued a comment from chief exec Sarah Brennan about the government's response to the (2008) review of child and adolescent mental health services, issued yesterday. It says (read it in full at the YoungMinds site) that while the charity welcomes the response, it "is disappointing that we have had to wait over a year for this response, whereas others similar government reports such as the Bradley review were responded too immediately." It also says its pleased about the positivity and confidence about practice already happening but "these projects are short term, with funding ending in March 2011 and without a commitment from government to ensure their continuation, services are at risk of going backwards and the Cinderella services of CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) returning.  We often hear from children and young people using mental health services and that they aren't getting the support they need.
