Written evidence from Ultrasis UK Ltd (COM 46) SUMMARY

House Of Commons Health......

— Cost-effective and clinically effective treatments such as computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (cCBT) that have been recommended by NICE have been proven to support the increased delivery of services at a much reduced cost. Commissioners must be willing to have a broad knowledge of such new treatments and be challenged where they do not introduce them into routine practice. Health and social care can and should be closely integrated with greater investment in proven health technologies as the global benefit to both systems is closely aligned; this is especially the case for people who are considered most vulnerable such as those with mental health needs. cCBT and other health technologies based on promoting self care enables patients to be treated in non-clinical settings such as social care providers, third sector services, public facilities such as libraries or even from home.
