Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many patients (a) psychological wellbeing practitioners, (b) cognitive behavioural therapists, (c) counsellors, (d) psychotherapists and (e) psychologists are each expected to see per week.

NHS England has informed us that there are no national quotas set for the number of patients mental health therapists are expected to see each week. Workload will depend on a number of factors, including how long clinical contacts last, travel requirements, therapists’ other responsibilities and their training and supervision requirements.
