Unfortunately, a number of providers of MHSDS data have been affected by a recent cyber incident. NHS Digital has actively worked with these providers to understand how best to resolve any data submission issues that may have occurred as a result. We also continue to encourage affected providers to reach out to [email protected] as well as their regional Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR) teams.
Please read below for full details:
Although the impact on June and July 2022 monthly data was quite limited, the impact on August through to January 2023 data has been much more substantial. As such, national level breakdowns have been omitted from all outputs that are part of this publication. It was not considered appropriate to publish January 2023 national level data at present, given that these data are not an accurate reflection of activity for that month.
Data at Provider and Local Authority level data are, however, still included within this publication. Comparisons between providers not impacted by the cyber incident are still valid, as are comparisons between January 2023 data and that of previous months for any given non-cyber incident impacted provider.
Although the ‘Experimental Statistics’ designation is stated underneath the publication title above, users should be aware that the designation does not currently apply to this publication in the series. It does, however, remain applicable to all editions up to and including Final July 2022.
Finally, we will continue to monitor this situation with regards to subsequent months’ publications. No changes to submission processes will be introduced while service providers are actively dealing with this issue.
