Last year over 1 million people accessed talking therapies services in the community. We delivered waiting-time promises for adult talking therapies, with 88.8% of people accessing treatment within 6 weeks, and 98.4% within 18 weeks. In April 2022, patients were waiting on average 22.8 days from the point of referral to starting adult talking therapies, nationally.<\/p>
For children and young people, we are working towards our aim for 95% accessing eating disorder services within 1 week for urgent cases and 4 weeks for routine cases.<\/p>
