A Perth mental health campaigner has accused NHS bosses of “putting a price on life” by withdrawing emergency mental health services for all but six hours per day. Tracy Swan hit out after NHS Tayside announced the crisis response assessment service will transfer to Dundee’s Carseview between 3pm and 9am. NHS Tayside said it is a temporary move, undertaken due to a shortage of junior doctors. Ms Swan believes making patients travel could harm their fragile mental condition.
