The claims of a reduction in services followed the merger of The Centre for Trauma, Resilience and Growth at the Mandala Centre in Gregory Boulevard with other psychological therapies.

A spokesperson for the ICB said: ‘We note the referral about the Centre for Trauma, Resilience and Growth to the secretary of state by Nottingham City Health Scrutiny Committee.  

‘Services for citizens suffering from trauma are available through a variety of routes in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and we don't believe that there is a significant overall change to services available across the system.

‘We will provide any additional information required by the secretary of state and will be happy to have further meetings with the chair of Nottingham City Health Scrutiny if requested.'
