Summary
This statistical release makes available the most recent Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) final monthly data (November 2015) and the most recent quarterly data (Quarter 2 2015/16).
This series replaces the previous quarterly IAPT reports, last published for the period Q3 2014/15, and provides more frequent and wider ranging information concerning the care delivered to users of NHS-funded IAPT services for adults in England.
The information contained in this release is expected to be of use to organisations delivering IAPT services for adults in England, as it presents timely information intended to support discussions between providers and commissioners of services.
This information is also intended to be of interest to other audiences, including the general public, as it provides up-to-date information about access rates, waiting times and outcomes within IAPT services.
The HSCIC will be holding an Expert User Group event on 30th March, to support a planned user consultation about our IAPT publications. If you would like to take part in this event, please contact us via [email protected] (please include "IAPT" in the subject header).
