A rape crisis centre has closed its waiting list for victims amid a row over SNP/Green Government funding coming to an end
. Edinburgh has a backlog of nearly 300 survivors and has stopped putting any more people on their books.
The figure is six months in Lanarkshire, six to seven months in Dundee and Angus, as well as around four months in Grampian. The entry for Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre states: “Waiting list for adult support closed. 297 survivors currently on waiting list for support.” Scottish politics Sandy Brindley, chief executive of RCS, said: “Rape Crisis Centres provide essential, lifesaving services and it is very upsetting that survivors in some areas are waiting so long for support, and that some services have had to make the incredibly difficult decision to close their waiting lists altogether.
