What the petition asks

The process of seeing your GP then being referred to another department is a start but that is not even talking about the waiting time you could be waiting months or even 1 + years! You need help now not in months to come! Quicker referrals = reduced suicide attempts.
services are being cut and time waiting to get seen is longer! The average wait for someone to even be seen from being referred is 1+ years but it clearly states on the nhs website 18 weeks but does not apply for mental health? but why its the most on growing health issue out there , so why ignore it!
