Support to mentally ill husband too late

My husband was so ill with depression last year that he had two spells in Woodlands psychiatric hospital in Ipswich. He was let out too early after his first stay and six weeks later tried to take his own life, and was sectioned as a result. The medical and care staff did their best with limited resources but this should never have been allowed to happen, and the support to me has only been offered after the suicide attempt. The follow up is inadequate, and I do not feel my husband is seeing a psychiatrist or doctor often enough although he is still depressed.
