Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many referrals were made to mental health services, by ethnicity in (a) 2021-22, (b) 2022-23 and (c) 2023-24.
The tables attached show the number of referrals made to Mental Health Services and to NHS Talking Therapy services by ethnicity, in 2021/22, 2022/23, and 2023/24.
Please note that these counts include rejected referrals and will be impacted by data quality issues, particularly where there are changes to the system suppliers and transfers of caseloads between providers.
