Summary
This report presents findings from the Out of Area Placements (OAPs) collection. The collection is expected to capture the details of all OAPs in England from both NHS and independent providers. NHS Digital is running this interim OAPs data collection in the Clinical Audit Platform (CAP) until the data becomes aligned and available from the MHSDS. The MHSDS is the chosen mechanism for the long term collection of this data.

Key Facts
This monthly report of Out of Area Placements (OAPs) should be interpreted with caution, as with the previous reports in this series. The Limitations section sets out these issues more fully.
This month, 54 organisations have participated in this collection, out of 57 organisations in scope. This means that 95 per cent of organisations have participated. The definition of participation can be found on page 5 of the report.
