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 Psychological Therapies, Reports on the use of IAPT services - NHS Digital.
