Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

It's believed half of mental health problems begin before the age of 15.

However some young people are waiting more than a year

to access Calms, a mental health service specifically

Charities and youth organisations say there's a postcode

Our health correspondent, Lisa Summers, reports.

I had two parents who were drug addicts. Courtney says the mental

health problems started at 12. I was having panic attacks. Over coffee

with members of the Scottish youth Parliament, she talks about losing

both parents to drug addiction and the struggle getting help. I

accessed services once and didn't go back. He went guaranteed the same

person twice. You are telling your story over and over again. You won't

get anywhere because you will feel every emotion you felt before it

happened, you will feel again. They share similar experiences here. I

saw things and then use and no one should ever see. I was brought up to

the issues, bottle them up, stay quiet. I suffered with an eating

disorder. It was a battle. It is something I live with today. Erin

got support Alex Cooper the stranded when she got to university. I was

spiralling out of control. I went for help. It was five months before

I got a letter through and I didn't go to my appointment because I had

finished my exams and was moving to Glasgow. Scottish Government targets

have been missed ever since they were introduced. Most recently, they

showed that 22% of those referred were not seen within 18 weeks. 708

children would more than one year to be seen by a counsellor. The service

is oversubscribed. It is difficult to get a quick appointment. The

threshold is pretty high. We have to be quite distressed and in quite a

state, quite ill. This is desert of early intervention that can make a

difference. This premise funded their mental health kit bags. I am

feeling a little bit angry, but I am mostly feeling really happy. Local

authorities say budget pressures have led to a lack of psychologist

and support staff. The government says it is investing in support

services to meet targets but say it is up to targets to do more in

schools. It is a postcode lottery. There are local authorities with

great mental health and well-being There are local authorities with

strategies already in place in local authority areas. We are not starting

from a zero point. There are good practices in many areas. We just

need to nature that is the same throughout the country. These young

people say it helps them to talk, now it will help others, they hope.

In generations to come, we will have continual problems. Young boys need

to know they can talk about their feelings. The more you hear other

people's stories, it begins to give me hope for the future.

A charity which supports survivors of sex abuse is asking the Scottish

FA to think again about the man they have appointed

to chair their review of child abuse in football.

The SFA announced earlier this month that Martin Henry

would take on that role, but the charity say concerns have

SFA match official Hugh Stevenson and physio John Hart, both men now

dead, but the anger and concern that allegations they had abused young

footballers were not dealt with properly is still very much present.

The Scottish Government currently running an enquiry into abuse of

children in care, urged the SFA to set up a specific enquiry into abuse

in football as the FA in England has done. To be more proactive in how we

deal with child sexual exploitation. The SFA agreed and announced Martin

Henry, here giving evidence to a Scottish Parliament committee, is

the man who will share it. Mr Henry Scottish Parliament committee, is

has over 40 years clinical and friends of experience in the field

of child and public protection and, most recently, was manager of stop

it now Scotland, the national programme for the prevention of

child sexual abuse. This biography states his professional expertise is

in the investigation and assessment of child sexual abuse and in working

with men who have problematic sexual behaviours, including those who are

found online. It is the amount of work Mr Henry has done with

offenders which is concerning some abuse survivors. We could look at it

and say he has the perfect background, he knows all about

perpetrators and teens about prevention and found the perfect

gent -- prevention. How does it feel to survivors who have raised

concerns? They feel as if it is someone who does not understand

their needs, only the perpetrator. They don't feel he is the right

person to look into what that means to survivors. Six years ago in

Edinburgh, the man at the centre of the largest child abuse network ever

uncovered in Scotland were sentenced to lengthy prison terms. One of them

was jailed for a minimum of 16 years for sexually assaulting a baby,

showing pictures of that abuse and offering the child to others. James

Rennie was the chief Executive of LGBT use. Martin Henry was not

involved in any way with these crimes, youngsters who used the

service winner amongst the victims, police traced after he sent a

message to another paedophile from the LGBT US officers. Some survivors

believe have not spotted a paedophile working in this

organisation, Mr Henry's position is weakened as chair of the

wide-ranging enquiry. You might see it as an to say he cannot be that

word because he didn't pick up on something many others probably

wouldn't have picked up on, but, again, it is just the whole nature

of people having trust in this enquiry, it is about how survivors

feel that is most important. The most important thing is for

survivors to feel fully engaged with the process and they must trust in

it. We have tried to reach Martin Henry but he is out of the country.

And SFA spokesperson said that they consulted a wide range of

stakeholders, including survivors in a green terms of reference for the

independent review and subsequent appointment of a chair. The chair

has amassed unrivalled experience in many facets of child protection in a

40 year career, including his own of vice convener to discourage

Parliament cross-party group on survivors of sexual abuse. Jenin

Rennie and an abuse survivor met with the SFA yesterday and she said

it was a constructive meeting, but she went to see how they respond to

the concerns being raised. This highlights the difficulty in

appointing a charity such a sensitive enquiry that would be

acceptable to all of those who wish to take part. Especially those who

have been abused. For them, the issue of trust is central.

A 13-year-old boy who was found in Edinburgh after going missing

over the weekend, has died in hospital.

Police say Blake Ross, who's believed to have had diabetes,

fell ill on a bus in the city centre on Monday evening.

An investigation into police actions has now begun.

Police now say that 13-year-old Blake Rossi was living in care and

who had gone missing and had been missing since Saturday afternoon was

found ill omnibus, in for Lucien Boss, here on London Road in the

middle of Edinburgh on Monday afternoon at four o'clock. The

driver called the police and radioed into his own garage controlling for

help. Blake was taken to the sick kids Hospital in Edinburgh,

unfortunately he died on Monday evening at nine o'clock. Police say

the cause of death is unexplained, but we understand it is linked to

his underlying health condition for which he was taking medication. Now,

the number for a bus which Blake was discovered on travels across

Edinburgh from east to west on a route that starts not very far from

where Blake was seen on Saturday afternoon at around half three.

Police would like anybody who knows anything about his movements since

Saturday afternoon to get in touch as they proceed with this

investigation. Urgent safety checks should be

looked as though spring had sprung. 13 degrees on the Isle of Skye. In

the North East the club was stubborn. Plenty of cold tonight and

tomorrow morning. The odd spot of light rain and some mist and Mark in

the Southern uplands and officials to the north. Here is how it looks

at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Fairly cloudy, reasonably dry, itchy

spots of rain on the West Coast. Reasonably mild. Across the East

finance up to Inverness, cooler here, we'll have a touch of frost

this coming night for these areas. Further north, largely dried, a

breeze from the South around the coast. Through the course of the

morning, staying largely Cody and try from any central southern parts,

if you spots of rain in the west and south-west. The best sunshine in the

north coast. Across the UK as a whole it is fairly early. Inui

weather front pushing its way eastward, affecting central parts.

Some cloudy and wet weather across parts of central southern England in

particular. Mind for all, the pressure in the north-west. As we

head through the afternoon into the evening, the second band of rain

started to arrive from the West. Coming in it work Wednesday night,

the rain pushing in from the west with a strengthening southern wind

and potentially gales in the Western Isles. The pressure with this as we

had ordered Thursday, working eastward and it went fairly

morning and breezy. Westerly winds, you'll notice them through the

central belt, but try by the afternoon and some brightness. Once

ridge of high pressure. That should keep things try and settle for the

end of the week. It will keep this weather front at bay. Some

brightness again and it should be mined for all.
