Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to a) make the Psychotherapeutic Counselling Core pilot training pathway permanent and b) increase the number of places available through the pathway.

The Psychotherapeutic Counselling Core training pathway is no longer a pilot and is a part of NHS England’s regular commissioning cycle for the education and training programmes. There are no plans to increase the number of training places on the Psychotherapeutic Counselling Core training pathway.
