The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) dataset is a regular return of data generated by providers of NHS-commissioned IAPT services in England (including services provided by independent organisations). It was mandated as a monthly return from 1 April 2012 and collects details of all people accessing these services. Submissions are received by the Health and Social Care Information Centre as record-level anonymised data from patient-administration systems.
This monthly file also contains activity data detailing the number of referrals received, entering treatment and completing treatment in the month, by Commissioner.
Since January 2015 this data has been subsumed into a monthly IAPT dataset, available at https://data.gov.uk/dataset/improving-access-to-psychological-therapies-iapt-monthly-dataset.
