Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate his Department has made of the cost to Clinical Commissioning Groups of providing salary support for Improving Access to Psychological Therapies trainees in (a) 2018-19, (b) 2019-20 and (c) 2020-21.
While Health Education England recommends salaries for Psychological Wellness Practitioner and High Intensity trainees, the decisions on salary support are made locally by clinical commissioning groups.
