Make 'em public all you want, but unless they actually hire more staff it's just theatre. My niece waited 4 months for CAMHS.
get stuffed with that take, my mate works at a clinic and they're drowning
seen it before. Watch the line get longer while they say 'look we're transparent' 🙄
ah yes, more transparency theatre while the system burns. classic move doocey 👏
Anything that forces accountability is a good start. but ffs actually fund it properly
exactly. visibility != solutions. they act like publishing numbers is the same as helping

Our youth deserve better than just knowing how long the queue is. They need actual help NOW.
She's right though. The wait times aren't the problem imo, it's the lack of actual support.
Translation: watch our wait times double, but now you can see it in real time. sneaky move
lol yeah nah get stuffed
My daughter's been on a waiting list for 6 months. This feels like a way to deflect blame onto the public rather than fixing the actual shortage. Poor kids.
Same. Our kids are being failed while they pat themselves on the back for 'shining a light' on the problem they created.
ffs just pour the money into training and hiring instead of this PR spin
