Change to Submission Window used for MHSDS Restrictive Intervention Performance Reporting
From October 2024 activity onwards, MHSDS Restrictive Interventions Performance data is reported from submissions made in the month following the activity period, rather than the second month.
As such, there will no longer be a time lag in the reporting of MHSDS Restrictive Interventions data (Tables 15-18) within this publication compared with all other MHSDS data.

Summary
Latest monthly statistics on Learning Disabilities and Autism (LDA) patients from the Assuring Transformation (AT) collection and Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS).
Data on inpatients with learning disabilities and/or autism are being collected both within the AT collection and MHSDS. There are differences in the inpatient figures between the AT and MHSDS data sets and work has been ongoing to better understand these. LDA data from MHSDS are experimental statistics, however, while impacts from the cyber incident are still present they will be considered to be management information.
From April 2024, LDA MHSDS data has been collected under MHSDS version 6.
From 1 July 2022, Integrated Care Boards were established within Integrated Care Systems data and replaced Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs). Clinical Commissioning Groups have been replaced by sub-Integrated Care Boards. Data for the AT collection is now submitted by sub-Integrated Care Boards. This has resulted in some renaming within tables and the inclusion of a new Table 5.1b with a patient breakdown by submitting organisation. Patients by originating organisation and commissioning type are still available in Table 5.1a. Data in the tables are now presented by the current organisational structures. Old organisational structures have been mapped to new structures in any time series.
