After Mitchell Bock, 30, tried to take his own life in December last year, he was left to sit on a chair in Grange University Hospital alone for 13 hours.
At the time, the musician and finance worker from Caerphilly claimed that mental health care in Wales was "non-existent" as he was later discharged from hospital with most of his questions left unanswered. At the time, a safety and support plan was signed off by a clinician before he was discharged, despite him answering "unsure" to three out of five questions about how he would manage his depression going forwards.
