CG - I have no info on which to comment. I left a long time ago.
Personally I think it was an extremely bad move getting rid of in-house mental illness treatment, and the WSO (and the RAF) were extremely lucky to get such an experienced nurse. In 10 years time, all the legacy people will have retired, the Service will be a very long way up sh!t creek, and there will be a massive hunt for non-existent paddles. The same applies to a lot of the civilianised contracts. I gave this as one of my reasons for PVR'ing. I said it would take 20-25 years, and I was just about right.
