The coroner's concerns
1. lack of specialist drug and alcohol workers in Early Intervention Team
“significant proportion of the Early Intervention Team's patients have a dual-diagnosis of substance abuse and mental health problems”
2. delays in accessing talking therapies
“significant wait can be encountered by service-users referred for talking therapies”
