Official statistics
Revision of EIP Caseload metrics (EIP68, EIP69a, EIP69b), Out of Area Placements (OAPS) and Restrictive Interventions data
Revision of EIP Caseload metrics (EIP68, EIP69a, EIP69b)
The 'Commissioning Region', 'ICB - GP Practice or Residence' and 'Sub ICB - GP Practice or Residence' breakdowns within metrics EIP68, EIP69a and EIP69b, released on 10th August, have since been found to be incorrect. This data has now been reissued within the Performance May data and omitted from the Provisional June data.
The reissued Performance data is available within the 'MHSDS Monthly: Performance May 2023 MHSDS Data File V2' CSV file below.
The corresponding Provisional data has also been reissued as 'MHSDS Monthly: Provisional June 2023 MHSDS Data File V2'. However, data for metrics EIP68, EIP69a and EIP69b have simply been omitted from this file altogether. As of 14th September, users should refer to the Performance June 2023 MHSDS Data file which will be available here to obtain June data for these metrics.
Revision of Out of Area Placements (OAPS) data
The Performance May 2023 and Provisional June 2023 Out of Area Placements CSV files released on 10th August have since been found to be incomplete. Not all data for sending and receiving provider was included within these files.
Complete Performance data is now available below as 'MHSDS Monthly: Performance May 2023 Out of Area Placements V2' below
Provisional OAPs data has not been reissued and remains incomplete. As of 14th September, users should refer to the Performance June 2023 OAPS data which will be available here to obtain complete June data. At that point, the Provisional June 2023 OAPS data will be removed from this page.
The reissued Performance May 2023 data in respect of both EIP caseload and OAPs is based on the latest data available submitted up to 18 August 2023. This will include a small number of submissions made using the multiple submission window model, and represents the most accurate picture available at the point of republishing.
Revision of Restrictive Interventions data
The 'Region' breakdowns within the 'MHSDS Monthly: Performance May 2023 Restrictive Interventions' and 'MHSDS Monthly: Provisional June 2023 Restrictive Interventions' CSV files released on 10th August, have since been found to be incorrect. This data has now been reissued within the Performance May data and omitted from the Provisional June data.
The reissued Performance data is available within the 'MHSDS Monthly: Performance May 2023 Restrictive Interventions V2' CSV file below.
The corresponding Provisional data has also been reissued as 'MHSDS Monthly: Provisional June 2023 Restrictive Interventions V2'. However, all 'Region' breakdowns have simply been omitted from this file altogether. As of 14th September, users should refer to the Performance June 2023 MHSDS Restrictive Interventions data which will be available here to obtain June data for the 'Region' breakdowns.
NHS England apologises for any inconvenience caused.

Release of 'End of Year Final' 2023-24 data
'End of Year Final' versions of the main monthly csv files for each month between April 2023 and March 2024, collected under MHSDS version 5, which reflect revised 2023-24 Multiple Submission Window Model submissions that occurred after 'Performance' monthly data had already been published are now available.
The following files will be re-issued using end-of-year 'final' data
- Monthly 'Main' csv
- Monthly 'Restrictive Interventions' csv
- Monthly 'Out of Area Placements' csv
- Monthly 'Mental Health Services Measures to support the Adult Social Care Outcome Framework' csv

The 23/24 data in the monthly time-series file to be issued for the April-24 reporting period will be based on final, end-of-year data.
Please refer to the relevant monthly publication pages available from the Mental Health Services Monthly Statistics series page for further details and to access the 'End of Year Final' 2023-24 data.
Reinstatement of all breakdowns into main publication
NHS England excluded observed national data from the main publication for all months from August 2022 to March 2023 inclusive. This was in response to a cyber incident impacting a subset of providers, which meant that it was considered inappropriate to publish actual national level statistics given that it may not have been an accurate reflection of activity for those months. Imputed statistics were published on linked Supplementary Information pages.
Data relating to the new commissioning structures (ICB, Sub ICB, Commissioning Region) were also substantially impacted by the cyber incident and were also excluded from the main publication over these months for the same reason.
As stated above, as an interim measure for all months from August 2022 to March 2023 inclusive, NHS England produced national level estimates, calculated through imputation, and made them available on the National Estimates Supplementary Information page. Breakdowns relating to the new commissioning structures were made available separately to the main publication on the ICB and Sub ICB location Supplementary Information page over this period.
As of the Performance April 2023 publication, the impact of the cyber incident has substantially diminished, and as a result, all breakdowns have been reinstated into the main publication. This includes observed national data and sub national commissioning data. National data will no longer be imputed and the two Supplementary Information pages referenced above will not be updated any further.
National level key facts have also been reinstated.
Consultation regarding removing metrics MHS92, MHS93 and MHS94
Following the release of the new CYP Outcomes metrics in the April 2023 Performance publication, NHS England are consulting users of these statistics to see if it is appropriate to remove the metrics MHS92 to MHS94. These metrics relate to people with a paired score whose referral has been open for at least 14 days. The new metrics remove the stipulation for the referral to be open for at least 14 days and as such it has been felt that these metrics are no longer needed. If users still use these metrics, please let us know via the Survey link on this page.
