It is expected that where individual clients do not use / require the full 8 sessions, unused sessions would in effect by 'recycled' meaning that additional clients would be offered blocks of counselling, ensuring that the total of 4,000 appointments are used.The majority of PCMHSS interventions are currently being delivered remotely by telephone or using the Attend Anywhere video platform. A small number of patients approximately 10% are being seen in face to face clinics.The clients that are referred to the provider will have attended an initial appointment with a PCMHSS Practitioner and therefore have a clear and specific plan for the therapeutic intervention to be carried out. As a result, there will be no need for 're-assessment' by the provider
