Also when this topic came up on the forum recently I suggested private mental health therapy was something worth looking into if you need it.

The cons taking care of their aging electorate, nothing new there
They have nothing to offer to the young but high house prices, gig economy and paid higher education
If only the young voted as religiously as the old...but they don't

But whichever way you look at it less beds in mental health than 10 years ago is a crime. The less said about availability of therapy sessions the better.

Private care is for the rich, not as an option for all bc nhs has been brought to its knees
