Neutrality

[edit]

I've added a POV template warning to this article. Specifically, this sentence:

"However Norman Lamb, who championed IAPT within the coalition government 2010-2015, disagreed with picking faults with such an extensive and world-leading advance in evidence-based treatment. [9]"

Does not sound suitable for the neutral perspective that Wikipedia is supposed to uphold. If it's a quote, it should be in quotes. If it's a judgement by an editor, it should be rewritten. Furthermore, this article has other issues. For one it has outdated sections, such as:

"There has been some debate over whether IAPT's roll-out may result initially in low quality therapy being offered by poorly trained practitioners.[5][6]"

Given the programme has now run for over 10 years, this should obviously be updated to say whether this did or did not happen. More fundamentally, large sections of this article read like rewritten excerpts from newspaper articles, that quote lots of estimated statistics rather than actual analysis.
