- 31.8 per cent of people who spent time as an inpatient were compulsorily detained in hospital under the Mental Health Act during the year. This is a larger percentage of all inpatients than in previous years and the data shows a steady increase in the percentage of inpatients that are detained (percentage of inpatients that were detained were 23.7 per cent, 25.4 per cent, 26.5 per cent and 30.8 per cent in 2004-05, 2005-2006, 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 respectively).
