Psychological Treatments For Depression

EDM number 1829 in 2005-06, proposed by Evan Harris on 16/03/2006.

That this House is concerned by the results of Pulse magazine's investigation into services for managing depression which revealed that patients are waiting many months for assessment and treatment; notes the acute shortage of therapists to deliver psychological interventions which are supported by good evidence of effectiveness, and that this shortage has been acknowledged by the National Director for Mental Health; urges the Government to instigate a concerted programme of training and recruitment to meet demand; and requests that GPs are provided with interim guidance on how to manage depression in the absence of access to interventions recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
