Has anyone here with mental health issues as the main reason for their CTB decision been referred to/seen by the so called "specialists" at the Maudsley Hospital in London?
(For those unaware, it takes referrals (from GPs) for individuals with complex mental health problems, performs an assessment, then sends a report back to your GP for advanced treatment. They also negotiate any payment from your local county CCG.)
Anyway, after a 8 month wait for my referral to be "processed", I received my report, which was so shockingly wrong/unfit for purpose, that my shrink has asked my local county not to pay for the referral/appointments made, and demanded a formal apology.
I think my shrink knows I'll be CTB with the next week or so, and is considering legal action. I asked him, and he is currently refusing to section me.
Anyway, this might be one of my last few posts here. I'm done, this isn't salvageable/endurable.
If there is one thing I want people know when I'm gone, it's that just because the NHS is shockingly bad, and unfit for purpose, there are some staff who do genuinely care. Not gonna deny that there are some/many absolute assholes, or completely clueless staff, but I can honestly say I will miss some people I have met along the way.
For everyone struggling - all I can do is wish you the best, and hope you find peace in whatever way you need to.
