300 Million on external advisor's but only enough money to fund mental health mon-fri 9-5

It was released today that the NHS spent 300 Million pounds on external advisor's. This is a shocking number when you bear in mind that mental health services (beyond crisis services) screech to a halt at 5pm on a Friday. Meaning that unless you are a imminent threat to either yourself or others you have to wait for services to restart on Monday morning. There are no other areas where there is no doctor covering. Can you imagine the outcry if for example a maternity ward announced that they could not accept any mothers out of the hours of 9-5 or if surgeons refused to operate on a patient because it was the weekend. What if a nurse refused to stitch a cut because it was only bleeding a little rather then gushing? Why is that when we can not physically see the wound a person is suffering with we accept a second rate service?
