question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact on mental health services of the increase in the numbers of people presenting with practical problems as identified in the report by Citizens Advice, The road block to recovery, published in July.
tabling member printed	Lord Boateng
uin	HL9326
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2018 answer text <p>NHS England recognises that many people who come to the attention of secondary community mental health services need support with practical problems such as housing and debt advice. As a result, its framework for community mental health services currently in development will emphasise the importance of integrated service models which can address such needs, for example through partnerships between the National Health Service, local authority and voluntary sector services.</p><p>Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services provide evidence-based psychological therapies to people with common mental health disorders. They are not designed to address practical problems, however, where appropriate, therapists may signpost patients to other local sources of help for those practical problems and, if necessary, where a practical problem is likely to impact negatively on treatment, defer treatment until the person is better able to benefit from that treatment.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 20/07/2018 10:41:12 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
