More children waiting longer for mental health services

The growing problem of children waiting for psychiatric services in Wales is being ignored by ministers, it has been claimed.

The number waiting more than 14 weeks has soared in the past year.

Ongoing problems with mental health services in Wales were previously highlighted in a report last year.

The Welsh government said cutting waiting times was a priority, and extra funding of £250,000 had been announced recently.
