Waiting Times
One of the stated targets of the IAPT programme is that for referrals finishing a course of treatment in the month, 75% access services within 6 weeks, and 95% within 18 weeks⁵. These are based on the waiting time between the referral date and the first attended treatment appointment.
88.8% of referrals waited less than 6 weeks to access IAPT services.
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' at www.digital.nhs.uk/iaptreports.
