This is probably why the Government are so keen to promote CBT... Mental
health interventions are in huge demand but there's a massive shortage of
credible, qualified therapists. Hypnotherapy suffers because it lacks a united
professional body, etc., and because there are so many complaints about bad
practice among dodgy hypnotherapists, sadly...

Ill health 'costs economy £100bn'
Ill health costs the British economy over £100bn a year - the same as the
cost of running the NHS for a year, a report is set to say.

Dame Carol believes whole sections of society have "drifted" into a benefits
culture, with generations of the same family never working.
However, she stressed that these people were not lazy - they just needed
support to get back into employment.
She said: "Often these conditions are mild, such as mild mental health and
musculo-skeletal problems, such as a bad back.
"There are often treatable and preventable if we could get in there early.
"But we have nothing in place at the moment that gives us early intervention
and prevention."
For instance, Dame Carol said GPs struggled to get speedy access to
physiotherapy and mental health counselling services.
