Shortage of accommodation with support: “a Catch 22 situation.”

In the second of her special reports on ITV Wales this week Journalist Mariclare Carey-Jones looked at the shortage of accommodation with support for people with mental ill health.

“It can be a real Catch 22 situation,” said Mariclare. “Poor mental health can mean patients end up in substandard housing and that, in turn, can exacerbate their health issues.”

Look out for Mariclare’s final report which will be on ITV Wales tonight at 6pm.
