Urgent reminder - MHSDS v5.0 public consultation
Our public consultation is now live and closes on Friday 29 January.
We would welcome your feedback on the consultation page.
The MHSDS brings together information captured on clinical systems as part of patient care. It covers:
- adult and older adult mental health
- children and young people's mental health
- learning disabilities or autism spectrum disorders
The MHSDS covers not only services provided in hospitals but also outpatient clinics and in the community, where the majority of people in contact with these services are treated.
