BPS responds to two Scottish government consultations
Both responses emphasised the need for more quantitative data to inform the proposals.
30 March 2023
BPS has submitted responses to two Scottish government consultations – the Delivery of Psychological Treatments and Interventions: National Specification and the Draft Quality Standards for Adult Secondary Mental Services.
Both responses emphasised the need for more quantitative data to inform the proposals; and that current challenges around IT and staff wellbeing will need to be prioritised in order for services to meet the specification/standards.
We also cautioned against language implying the attainment of equity of outcomes; highlighting the inherent variation in the outcomes different people experience from the same treatment/intervention.
