Psychotherapy waiting times from identification of need to commencement of therapy

The request was successful.

Dear Mersey Care NHS Trust,
Mersey Care operates a two tier waiting list for psychotherapy. I have identified the time taken from the referral to the unit for DBT to the onset of therapy, but this does not take into account the time spent waiting for the referral to be submitted, following identification of need. This time is not calculated in the answer I received and so I would like clarification:
* The time waiting for the referral for therapy from the identification of need in Mersey Care as a whole
* The time waiting for the referral for therapy from the identification of need for people on consultant psychiatrist, Dr Agarwal's case load.
Thank you

Yours faithfully,

Marie Evans
