Dear Dr Amit Mukherjee
RE: Freedom of Information Request Thank you for your request for information received by the Trust on 27 July 2022 regarding
IAPT under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act (2000).
You requested the following information:
Dear South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust,
How many patients who achieve reliable recovery during a course of IAPT treatment
are contacted for a 6 month follow-up after treatment, and with what results?
This information is exempt under section 21 (readily accessible) of the FOIA as it is all
available publicly through NHS Digital - reliable improvement is reported by every service
and forms part of the national IAPT data set. Please see the below link to access NHS
Digital:
