Improving Access To Psychological Therapies (EDM1433)

Improving Access To Psychological Therapies

EDM number 1433 in 2010-12, proposed by Jo Swinson on 09/02/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Mental health.

That this House regards depression as a serious condition that can profoundly diminish a person's wellbeing; recognises that psychological cognitive-behavioural therapy is an effective and scientifically validated form of treatment; welcomes the news that 3,660 new psychological therapists, trained under the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme, are in place as of January 2011; commends the current Government for its ongoing commitment to invest in the IAPT programme; also commends the previous Government for starting the IAPT programme; and thanks Professor Richard Layard of the London School of Economics for his work on the Depression Report in 2006, which demonstrated that provision of extra psychological therapy could more than pay for itself through reducing benefit claims and helping people back into work.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
