Community Services Statistics, March 2023
Experimental statistics, Official statistics in development
A recent code review has revealed that the underlying code for the Service Type measures included in the main csv does not wholly match the methodology described in the publication. The values historically published included non-within month data and contacts may not have been unique. Initial investigations show national levels for this measure should have been about 2% lower. This percentage increases at lower levels of the hierarchy due to the influence of small numbers.
Service Type data in this publication has been fixed, however, comparisons with historic values of this data should be treated with caution until these have also been retrospectively corrected.

Summary
Community Services Statistics for Children, Young People and Adults, March 2023 This is a monthly report on publicly funded community services for people of all ages using data from the Community Services Data Set (CSDS) reported in England for March 2023. It has been developed to help achieve better outcomes and provide data that will be used to commission services in a way that improves health, reduces inequalities, and supports service improvement and clinical quality.

A provisional data file for April 2023 is now included in this publication. Please note this is intended as an early view until providers submit a refresh of their data, which will be published next month.
