When Barrie Evans had his left leg amputated he felt he had "nothing
to live for".
"I couldn't support my family, I couldn't pay my bills, I ended up on
suicide watch," said Barrie, 60, from Rogerstone, Newport.
He now runs a support group and is calling for more mental health aid
for those who experience limb loss.
The Welsh government said deciding appropriate rehabilitation
services was the responsibility of health boards.
