Notes:
- In order to enter treatment a referral must have a first treatment appointment (an appointment with a therapy type recorded) in the year.
- CCG is based on General Practitioner practice.
- Waiting time is measured by counting the number of days between a referral being received and the first treatment appointment. For 2013-14, the presence of a valid therapy type was used as an indicator of whether the treatment was provided in the course of the appointment.
- Figures are rounded to the nearest five.
- This data is based upon a count of referrals received by IAPT services, not distinct people. In order to be included in these figures, a referral must have a first treatment appointment in the relevant reporting period (1 April 2013 to 31 March).
