Veteran mental care 'inadequate'

The charity treats ex-service personnel who served in Iraq or Afghanistan
Care offered by the NHS to military veterans with post traumatic stress disorder is "a spit in the ocean", the head of the charity Combat Stress says.
Outgoing chief executive Commodore Toby Elliott says his charity has 9,000 registered patients but the government provides for less than half of them.

My comment on the above is WHY should they have to go to a CHARITY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
