I think it's important, because there is certainly a significant wait-list to even be engaged with a mental health professional who can provide appropriate assessment, treatment and support. That part is important.
I'll tell you, though, I'd like to see a good chunk of that money.... Rather than have it going to mental health while they're waiting for their claim, how about you redistribute it so that the claims are processed quicker? Because that is partly treatment for their mental health issues, for the stress of waiting and the sense that they may be denied. That's easily treated if you can speed up the process.
