<p>We continue to expand access to talking and psychological therapies through the
Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme. Data from 2019/20 shows
that there were 1.69 million referrals to IAPT in England and 1.17 million people
started a course of treatment within this year. <br> <br> In addition, we continue
to meet our waiting time targets for IAPT. Latest figures for August 2020 indicate
that 89.1% of people completing treatment waited less than 6 weeks against a target
of 75% and 97.8% waited less than 18 weeks, against a target of 87.5%.</p>
