<p>All National Health Service trusts are required take account of and involve patients
and the public in the way they plan and provide services. Transforming Participation
in Health and Care, published September 2013, sets out the legal duties on NHS Commissioners
to both involve patients in their own care and to involve the public in the way they
commission services. The Commissioning organisation should ensure that providers they
commission to provide services have suitable arrangements in place to involve patient
and the public.</p><p> </p><p>In addition NHS foundation trusts have specific responsibilities
to involve their members and local communities usually through the appointment of
Governing Body members. Trusts have their own arrangements as to how they make arrangements
to involve their patients, carers and communities. Details of the arrangements would
usually be available on the trust website.</p><p><br> Health Education England (HEE)
has responsibility for training new therapists and high intensity training. In 2015/16,
the budget was £22.0 million to support 1,031 trainees. These trainees provide supervised
practice alongside college attendance. There may also be some workforce development
funding used to further develop people working in such services, however, HEE does
not code its workforce development expenditure to the degree of detail to separately
identify this.</p><p><br> Data is not collected centrally on the number of psychological
therapists employed by the NHS who experienced workplace-related stress in each of
the last five years.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
