Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients on waiting lists for mental health services in each NHS England Region have been referred, by mental health condition.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

Tables showing the number of open referrals for patients referred to either secondary mental health services or NHS Talking Therapies, that were still waiting for a first contact at the end of February 2025, the current reporting period, are attached. These provide breakdowns by region, integrated care board, and provider.

Information on mental health conditions by referral is not available and a diagnosis may not have been established at the time of referral. Individual patients may have multiple referrals open at a given time, so the number of referrals does not equate to the number of patients.
