    Additional issues

    • Telling patients and GPs they have a short waiting time but that short waiting time only being for group therapies
    • Pushing people to do group therapies before offering 121 (kind of life stepped care but out of convenience and practicality for them not just to follow a stepped care approach which in itself doesn't fit all)
    • Not proactively following up with people who don't, for any possible reason, bite their hand off at the first offer
    • Using patient reported outcomes measurements for all without varying for people who have confounding factors e.g. other conditions that affect what the questions mean
    • Recommending CBT without due care and attention to ensure potential 'contraindications' aren't present e.g. autism, trauma
    • Declaring success based on single or very few data points e.g. one questionnaire at the end of the course, no long term follow ups and improvement of only a few points on that one occasion compared to the first measurement can tip a person from 'casesness' to 'not'
