Impact of Cyber Incident on MHSDS data submissions:
Although the impact on performance June and July 2022 monthly data was quite limited, the impact on performance August and September 2022 data is much more substantial. As such, national level breakdowns have been omitted for August and September 2022 data from all outputs that are part of this publication. It was not considered appropriate to publish national level performance August and September 2022 data at present, given that these data are not an accurate reflection of activity for these months.
Breakdowns relating to commissioning structures as they existed prior to 1 July 2022 (CCG, STP, region and commissioning region) are presented here. Caution is advised when using these measures and care must be taken when comparing data effected by the cyber incident.
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.
Providers also have the opportunity to resubmit MHSDS data for any month between April 2022 and February 2023, up until the final 2022/23 multiple submission window model (MSWM) deadline in May 2023, and this should serve to further mitigate the issue. This will then feed into the 'End of Year Final' data made available shortly afterwards.
It is expected that 'End of Year Final' data will include a complete set of breakdowns for every month of 2022/23, including national level data.
