Waiting Times
One of the stated targets of the IAPT programme is that for referrals finishing a course of treatment in the month, 75% enter treatment within 6 weeks, and 95% within 18 weeks⁴. These are based on the waiting time between the referral date and the first attended treatment appointment.
87.1% of referrals waited less than 6 weeks to enter treatment
The chart below shows that, nationally, waiting times measures have consistently been above the target, particularly the proportion seen within 6 weeks.
For an explanation of the terms used and further information about how measures are calculated in IAPT see the 'Guide to IAPT data and publications.
