“The data shows that NICE’s recommendations relating to psychological therapies for people with common mental health conditions and access to early intervention in psychosis services have seen improvements in uptake as these areas have become high priorities in the NHS. However, data from the Quality and Outcomes Framework and the CQC community mental health survey show that there is scope for improvement in the uptake of NICE guidance.” NICE guidance and current practice report 2017 Mental Health
