Mental Health Services Monthly Statistics, Performance November 2024

This publication provides the timeliest picture available of people using NHS funded secondary mental health, learning disabilities and autism services in England, excluding those who are solely in contact with Talking Therapies. This information will be of use to people needing access to information quickly for operational decision making and other purposes. More detailed information on the quality and completeness of these statistics is available in the Data Quality section, as well as within the Data Coverage and Data Quality VODIM and Integrity files available under ‘Resources’.Some amendments to methodologies have been made in this publication. Previously, in some metrics, data for Kooth Digital Health Limited was handled in a different way due to them providing online anonymous services. This methodology has been extended to a second provider, MeeToo Education. Additionally, there have been some amendments to the referral spells methodology (metrics starting MRS). These include extending the list of teams in the exclusion and inclusion lists to include depreciated codes and introducing the use of the referral rejection and closure dates where the service discharge date is not available.
