The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Programme is rolling out new psychological therapy services across England. To date, funds have been allocated to primary care trusts (PCTs) as they have established new IAPT services, but from 1 April 2010, funding for IAPT services will be in PCT baselines. It should also be noted that many PCTs have made further local investment, alongside the centrally allocated funding, to ensure IAPT services serve more people.
In the Birmingham area, three PCTs (Heart of Birmingham, North and East Birmingham, and South Birmingham) have established a single IAPT service with £1.692 million investment of central funds. There has also been significant local investment made alongside this central money. This investment was made in 2009-10, with the services going live in autumn 2009.
Information about any further local investment in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and IAPT services in primary care settings can be obtained directly from the local PCTs concerned. However, CBT may also be delivered as part of care packages in secondary mental health services, which provide services to those with severe and enduring mental health problems.
