Dear Mr Aravis
Thank you very much for your email and your Freedom of Information request.
I have discussed your request with our service leads, and it would be really helpful to have some clarification on the information you are seeking. Therapies are very broad and are available in community services (such as physiotherapy), in mental health (such as talking therapies) and as part of our low priority procedures.
Is there a particular area of service you are particularly interested in, or keen to receive this level of information on?
Currently as it stands this request is too broad for us to answer effectively, without further clarification.
I hope that this is helpful, and if you can come back to us we can move this forward for you,
Kind regards
Laura

Dear CWS-FOI (NHS COASTAL WEST SUSSEX CCG),
Thankyou, to clarify I would like to know about the mental health therapies available and to whom they are available (for instance I understand Art therapy is closed to Schizophrenia patients?)
I myself have been refused Mindfulness as it is not a service you offer (at the Bedale centre) apparently...
I'd like to know if that is true or false also please.
Thanks in advance for your help
Yours sincerely,
James Aravis
