Thing is, if we're talking about mental health, I basically agree with that statement. That's not to say individual clinicians don't care, but overall services are appalling. There was seriously dodgy practice and inadequate funding years ago when I had the misfortune to attempt to get help, and that was before the Tories were in power and funding got even worse!
IF there has been an increase in suicides (quite possible for various wider social reasons and lack of services) it would feel like a cover-up to anyone close. There seems to be a lot of arse-covering and buck-passing (because no one has the resources to actually offer help/adequate treatment). Everything is fire-fighting - briefly stepping in if a suicide attempt is in progress, but no treatment/inadequate treatment. A friend of mine killed herself - she had contact with services, it was all utterly predictable. But the buck-passing, the "doesn't meet criteria for in-depth therapy", the general impression given to patients that they are time wasters... it's literally the opposite of what anyone needs, it would break a mentally robust person! And then you have an inquest where the arse-covering peaks, or at most "lessons will be learned", except they're not.
It all feels like the most scandalous cover-up. In a way, it is. But this is the case across the board, not just for those with difficulties around gender identity. I think this is important because there will be so much evidence of poor care of "trans" children - but the trans is a red herring, services are that poor for (almost) everyone.
