Notes:
1. Data for specialties:
710—Mental Illness
711—Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
712—Forensic Psychiatry
713—Psychotherapy
715—Old Age Psychiatry
2. Due to small numbers, the calculation of the median wait is prone to fluctuation at PCT and SHA level. Care should be taken when interpreting these figures.
3. Waiting times apply to consultant-led appointments only. Services in many areas are now run by multi disciplinary teams.
4. Lancashire Care NHS Trust was formed in an April 2002 merger of the following organisations:
RMB—Blackburn, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley Healthcare NHS Trust (MH services)
RML—Blackpool, Wyre and Fyde Community Health NHS trust (MH services)
REU—Burnley Health Care NHS Trust (mental health services)
RJU—Chorley and South Ribble NHS Trust (mental health services)
RME—Communicare NHS Trust (psychology and drugs services)
RMG—Guild Community Healthcare NHS Trust
RVT—North Sefton and West Lancashire Community NHS Trust
