'I'm still waiting for therapy after suicide attempt'

Huge regional variations in the waiting times for mental health therapy are "clearly unacceptable" according to mental health charity Sane. In some areas of England, only 5% of people are seen within the government's six-week target - Sane chief executive Marjorie Wallace told the programme it was a symptom of a "meltdown in psychological services". Conservative MP Dr Liam Fox said the discrepancy across the country showed it was not just about NHS money. Anne Cremin, 20, has been on a waiting list for year - despite a suicide attempt - and said she felt "isolated and ignored".
