Is it not now the time for mental health and hidden disability like autism to have its own separate body away from the NHS as a “one-stop-shop” - the mismanagement and wastage within the NHS has been well documented and such a new body could lead the way in innovation in the care of people with mental health and hidden disability - existing NHS staff have privately shared their own frustrations with me about not being able to provide the higher standard of care to myself and others that they want to provide but are actively prevented from doing so</p></blockquote><p></p>
