6. Description
We intend to survey all IAPT services in England. The
survey will ask IAPT services for the numbers and
whole time equivalent High Intensity Psychological
Therapists, Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners,
Employment Support Workers, Counsellors and other
psychological therapists in IAPT services in England.
The purpose of the collection is to establish the size
and capacity of the IAPT workforce to establish
whether the current workforce has the size and
capacity to meet the Government's commitment to
provide NICE approved and evidence based
psychological therapies to 15% of the prevalence of
depression and anxiety within the population. The
collection will inform future training and education
commissioning and support workforce planning to met
this commitment. The commitment was set out in the
"Talking Therapies - 4 year plan of action" launched as
part of the mental health strategy "No Health without
Mental Health" in February 2011.

This is a new collection and will therefore be an
increased burden on IAPT providers. The collection will
be by IAPT service. Several IAPT services are provided
by single MH trusts hence the template has been
based around the number of requests made to MH
Foundation Trusts rather than number of trusts
themselves. This is also true of the MH non Foundation
Trusts.
23. Benefits to
The benefits for patients will be improved quality of
Proposal for ROCR Approval
Patients and
the NHS
psychological therapy delivered to patients resulting
from therapists receiving training in NICE approved
and evidence based psychological therapies. This will
ensure that IAPT services are able to reach the
required 50% recovery rates produced in the clinical
trials. We do not envisage there being any set up
costs additional to officer time from the IAPT Central
Team at NHS England and officer time at HEE.
24. Financial
benefits to
running this
collection
The financial benefits from this collection will arise
from the use of the data to ensure that limited training
resources are directed to areas where there are
shortages of qualified staff. The cost savings to the
NHS from the provision of NICE approved and
evidence based therapies is set out in the Economic
Assessment appended to the original IAPT business
case to CSR07. The financial benefits for the NHS arise
from reduced use of GP and acute services by people
who have recovered from depression and anxiety
disorders. The benefit to the economy as a whole is
derived from reduced benefits and increased taxes

Publication
methods
Yes, the primary use is to provide information on the
size and make up of the IAPT workforce and to assist
in planning for the workforce, its education and
training. This information will be used by NHS
England, Health Education England and Local
Education & Training Boards. The secondary use is to
provide assurance to the Minister that the IAPT
programme has delivered the required increase in the
size of the IAPT workforce to make it capable of
providing psychological therapies to 15% of people
with depression and anxiety disorders in line with
Government expectations. the findings of the census
will be published on the IAPT website.

The NHS Mandate commitment for 15% of those
people with depression and anxiety disorders annually
to access an IAPT service by March 2015. Of those
who complete treatment 50% will reach clinical
recovery.

Yes
32. Plans for
collecting this
data from
operational
systems
A single web based survey collection of the make up of
the IAPT service to on a specified date of 31 March
2014. Services will be given two weeks to submit the
data and will be chased for a further two weeks if the
data is not submitted prior to the deadline.
33. If the data
was not
collected,
what would
the
consequences
be
The size of the IAPT service would not be known. This
would mean that it would not be possible for Health
Education England and Local Education Training
Boards to make informed decisions concerning the
workforce planning, training and education
requirements of the IAPT workforce. Equally, NHS
England and the Department of Health would not be
able to provide the Minister with assurance that the
IAPT programme had increased the size and capacity
of the IAPT workforce as set out in the "Talking
Therapies - 4 year plan of action.
