We are looking to test co-location of IAPT services in two phases in 2015-2018. Within the first phase Canterbury Jobcentre is hosting their local IAPT service within private rooms on site. The second phase will test co-location of IAPT in a wider number of Jobcentres, which have yet to be selected. Some Jobcentres are independently building relationships with their local IAPT services under Freedom and Flexibilities.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 26/11/2015 09:41:54 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
