not possible to separate Sandwell from NHS Sandwell and West Birmingham CCG; as such,
data for Sandwell is also included in this response</li><li>The IAPT dataset contains
information on referrals to IAPT services which provide talking therapies.</li><li>Waiting
time is measured by counting the number of days between a referral being received
and the first treatment appointment. Currently, the presence of a valid therapy type
is used as an indicator of whether treatment was provided in the course of the appointment.</li><li>This
data is based upon a count of referrals received by IAPT services, not distinct people.

appointment in the reporting period (1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014)</li></ol><p> </p><p><strong>
