					<description><![CDATA[Biggleswade Community Mental Health team were horrendous. I heard bad things but was genuinely shocked at how bad they really were. 
I specifically asked to be referred after years of longstanding mental health problems the GP couldn’t manage, expecting there to be further depth to assessments. 
I left my assessment angry and feeling worse than when I went in.
I admitted some really dark things. They said “we can definitely help you.” Then I heard nothing.
A month later I got a letter in the post declining any of my admissions and labeling me as ‘mild to moderate low mood’ when it was clearly worse than that.
I was referred back to my GP for medication. A blessing in disguise.
Beds community mental health team - do better. 
The whole country is letting our people down with mental health care.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s good to see Healthwatch providing information on local services like the Ampthill Community Mental Health Team. Having the direct phone number and a link to the ELFT website readily available is really helpful for those trying to connect with them. Hopefully, this can help people access the support they need more easily.‍‌﻿‍‌﻿‌​]]></description>
