Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many referrals to the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme ended after (a) entering treatment and (b) completing treatment without receiving an assessment in each clinical commissioning group in each year since 2010.

Initial contact with the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme involves some form of assessment, before a patient enters treatment, in conjunction with discussion between the patient presenting and the Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner or High Intensity Therapist in order to design an effective treatment programme and agree interventions.
