Incoherent would be a kind word for it. Shoddy, with substandard staff (psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, the whole crew), incompetent administration and running-down provision of facilities, both in- and out-patient. The previous government thought they were doing a fine job. Nuff said.<br /><br />And yes, this comes from experience.
