Survivor of attack by Joseph McCann tells of long wait for therapy
Woman with PTSD symptoms had to go private as NHS wait was at least eight months
One of the victims of the serial rapist Joseph McCann has told of having to pay for her own counselling because of a waiting list of eight months to a year to access the treatment on the NHS.
The woman, whose victim impact statement was read out in court as McCann was handed 33 life sentences for crimes including her abduction during a fortnight-long rampage, continues to have flashbacks and suffers from chronic pain.
