MSA: Mixed Sex Accommodation Data Provision Notice

The Mixed Sex Accommodation (MSA) collection is required to monitor key performance measures set in the NHS Mandate and NHS Constitution (Pledge: providers of NHS funded care are expected to eliminate mixed sex accommodation except where it is in the best overall interest of the patient involved, or reflects their personal choice). 

The collection enables the analysis and publication of consistently defined data to allow patients and members of the public to understand the extent to which MSA provision is continuing at individual organisations. Statistics are classed as official statistics and are published monthly with an accompanying statistical press notice. The data, statistical press notice and guidance are available at the NHS England website.
