## IAPT six-month access brief — Aug 2025 – Apr 2026

**Dataset:** NHS Talking Therapies monthly statistics (Provider / RDY)  
**Status:** Draft for directorate huddle — not approved

### Headline reading

- Six-month trend shows improving access for RDY.
- Referrals received remain steady; waiting-band totals need local review.
- M053 six-week access is strong performance.

### Key findings explained

|------------------|--------------|------------|-------|-----------|-------------|
| M001 — Referrals received | 1,815 (Apr 2026) | Previous month not shown | Not available | Demand stable | Data owner |
| M053 — Six-week access (finished course) | 88% (Apr 2026) | No verified national threshold present in the downloaded public extract for this demo | Falling — Finance sign-off required | Performance is strong | Finance or definition check required |
