The paper Diluc has taken from the bird, unfortunately, needs to be decoded. There's a little Fatui symbol on the paper too... As if that counts for anything.

The message is as follows:

Viyw crqmttdrel tr xsx auil trryyw Swscfthvchr'v Plbr. Viyw a iih goq-gzfbdxlgtv atmh winanrpzzifew lklpwl wlxs rox, M yxeg e qxw fsxioqiyms ivzf a ficmalr Cniq Qlvhlrp eofeexd wlpke.

— Tki 2yw Hdvmbnjic, Bl Gsemoui

[Diluc frowns as he decrypts the cipher. The bold Harbinger wanted skilled people in combat and technical knowledge. Diluc snorted at the doctor's audacity. The message also asked him to feed the bird. Diluc glared at the bird before sighing deeply. He did have a soft spot for birds, unfortunately.]

Here. And next time, ask him to feed his own damn bird.

[He removes a dried chick and placed it in front of the raven. He then crumpled the note and threw it in the bin. Taking his quill, he began to write his own response.]

THE STATE OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MENTAL HEALTH BUDGET

Credit: Getty Images

In the annual Mental State Report of the World (2021) which ranked 34 countries, South Africa ranked as one of the lowest for its mental health (Msomi, 2022). One in three South Africans experiences a mental illness and 75% of them are unable to access treatment. Yet despite this only 5% of the national public health budget is spent on mental health (SASOP, 2020).

Interesting to note is that common and treatable mental health illnesses have overtaken physical illnesses and injuries as the main cause of medical disability claims in South Africa (Docrat et al, 2019). But not only is South Africa’s mental health budget small it is also mis-directed by being hospital-centric and reactive.  It works on treating the most severe conditions which only have a prevalence of 1% instead of trying to prevent or provide early intervention and treatment for the common mental health illness like anxiety and depression before they become a worse mental illness burden (Docrat et all, 2019).

This misdirection in the focus of the budget can further be seen in that almost 20% of the mental healthcare budget is allocated to hospital re-admissions. This is known as the “revolving door syndrome” where the issue is not nipped in the bud through better care at the primary and community level (Docrat et al, 2019). Primary health care services do not include regular screening for common mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, postnatal depression and substance abuse, even though there are simple to use tools for such screenings (Mokwena and Mokwena, 2021).

The budget for primary mental health care services is only 8% of the overall mental health budget but this is where community psychiatry can work to prevent mental illness and ensure early treatment that prevents mental health conditions becoming disabilities (SASOP, 2020).  

More can be done in the primary health sector with a greater budget allocation and political will such as more screenings, active health promotion of mental health problems, the provision of treatment with well resourced teams and on-going support that follows up with clients (Mokwena and Mokwena, 2021).

The new National Mental Health Policy Framework and Strategic Plan 2023 – 2030 brings some hope to budget concerns. It states that “budget will be allocated to meet targets set for the implementation of the policy and regular discussions will be held with provinces to discuss strategies and monitor progress with implementation. At provincial level, mental health budgets will be reviewed annually to align mental health with national priorities, for each of the areas for action in 2023 and annually thereafter” (Dept of Health, 2023: 38).

How this implementation will play out, we will have to wait and see.
