Summary

This publication brings together the Learning Disabilities and Autism (LDA) data from the Assuring Transformation collection and the LDA service specific statistics from the Mental Health Statistics Data Set (MHSDS).

A couple of figures on commissioner counts were corrected in the AT CSV file on 20th May 2021.

There are differences in the inpatient figures between the MHSDS and AT data sets and work is underway to better understand these. The MHSDS LDA data are currently labelled experimental as they are undergoing evaluation. Further information on the quality of these statistics is available in the Data Quality section of the main report.

There is a slight difference in scope between the two data collections. The MHSDS data is from providers based in England and includes care provided in England but may be commissioned outside England. Whereas the Assuring Transformation data are provided by English commissioners and healthcare will typically be provided in England but also includes data on care commissioned in England and provided elsewhere in the UK.

Assuring Transformation Publication.

MHSDS LDA Publication: These statistics are derived from submissions made using version 4.1 of the Mental Health Services Dataset (MHSDS). Prior to May 2018 the LDA service specific statistics were included in the main MHSDS publication.

*MHSDS Multiple Submission Window Model (MSWM) The MHSDS v4.1 data model allows providers to retrospectively submit data for any monthly reporting period until the end of year cut-off as part of the Multiple Submission Window Model (MSWM). So, for 2020-21, providers are able to resubmit data for any previous months until the end of March 2021. (This was possible for the first time in MHSDS v4.0 but just for the end of year submission for March 2020 data). This model allows providers to improve the quality of previous submissions. Historical comparison with previous years should therefore be reviewed in that context. Additional information on the MSWM for MHSDS is available via the link at the bottom of this page (related links).*

We hope this information is helpful and would be grateful if you could spare a couple of minutes to complete a short customer satisfaction survey. Please use the link to the form at the bottom of this page to provide us with any feedback or suggestions for improving the report.
