"Disgrace"

My daughter was given the self refer number by her gp after a telephone assessment she was referred to this service she waited a number of months for appointment baring in mind she suffers from serious mental health issues including self harm. When she attended the appointment after speaking to a support worker she then saw a consultant. Who said he would recommend a medication for her gp to prescribe, my daughter explained she had previously been on the medication he recommended and it had not helped. The consultant then asked what she expected to get from the service as they could not change her pass (sexual abuse by her father) my daughter said obviously not but it had caused her trauma and was looking for support. For which the consultant gave her the original number she had used for the self referral and told her to self refer herself again. What was the whole point of the telephone assessment to wait 3 months for appointment to be told to self refer herself again. No wonder people with mental health issues are frightened to speak up and seek help the service is a disgrace. People with mental health issues end up dead because of services like this I'm disgusted!!!!
