I love the NHS and have written previously in defence of it but mental healthcare is practically non-existent with extremely long waiting lists and you really need to know what you're expecting to get from it to get anything at all from it. Unlike physical health, it does not work to help those who really need it.

So, uh, yes, but it's very dependent what bit of England you're in and what bit of mental health service you're trying to access. I'm not disagreeing with you btw, the picture is pretty bleak for very many people.

Some of the data is here. https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/sta...

And the IAPT data is here (although in many places IAPT has been diluted so much it's not giving much meaningful benefit) https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/sta...
