THE target for young people starting mental health treatment has never been met since it was introduced by the Scottish Government a decade ago.
Freedom of Information Requests from the Scottish Lib Dems show the 100 per cent mental health treatment target of 18 weeks or less has been missed for at least 43,000 young people.
