More veterans are waiting longer for mental health services here after they return from wars in the Middle East.

The average wait time for mental health services jumped from 4.16 days to 10.72 days between December 2014 and July, officials said at the press conference.

Officials slashed the average wait time for primary care services from 23.8 days to 8.97 days during that time.
