Dear Ministry of Health,

Thank you for getting back to me. I'm not sure what you're wanting me to clarify, sorry. I'm asking for waiting times for mental health support generally, looking at different types of mental health support. If you don't break it down in that way, please provide it for me in the form that you do.

Data from 2013 on capacity is fine.

Yours faithfully,

Ti Lamusse
