To ask the Scottish Executive what referral paths there are for professional psychological therapy or counselling for trauma experienced by victims of sexual assault or childhood sexual abuse and whether the service provision differs according to gender.

The answer

NHS boards are responsible for providing treatment for people who have experienced trauma, including access to psychological therapies. Referral to these services can be through a number of different routes including referral by a GP or self-referral.</b></p> <p >Since 2007 the Scottish Government has provided funding of £3.8 million through the National Strategy for Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse to help address the needs of adult survivors of childhood abuse. This includes funding to statutory and voluntary organisations to develop a wide range of services for survivors including preventative work, support and counselling. In 2009, after identifying a need for improved services for men, specific funding was provided to develop services for male survivors.
