THE Scottish Government has faced calls to overhaul university mental health services, following the revelation that almost 2000 students in Scotland are currently on waiting lists for counselling.
Freedom of Information requests submitted by the Scottish Liberal Democrats revealed that, as of March 29 this year, at least 1874 students were awaiting counselling - including 900 at the University of Edinburgh alone – while some students at both Edinburgh and Glasgow had waited over three months for support.
