The latest draft. Dear Mr Director Person Re: Accessing Mental Health Services Previous correspondence refers. Thank you for your eventual response of 12 May 2010. I note with interest your willingness to point out that NICE guidelines are not always applicable in this jurisdiction, and that a regional team is “considering” the application of the [...]
