Answer

The South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust does not hold a list of individuals waiting for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Individuals on waiting lists for Psychological Therapies will be assessed once they are seen and the resulting model of therapeutic provision agreed upon will be dependent on this assessment. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is one of a range of Psychological Therapies which may be offered.
