EL PASO -- About 1,500 people with mental health-care needs will soon be placed on a waiting list, administrators of a mental- health center have decided.
The El Paso Mental Health and Mental Retardation Authority's board has voted to cut those people from regular services because of budget problems. Starting Sept. 1, those on the waiting list will not have immediate access to medication and therapy, the agency decided.
