Restrictive Intervention (AT) Data Quality Report
NHS England have added a data quality report to the publication. The report presents information on the completion of restrictive intervention data by submitting organisations in the Assuring Transformation (AT) data collection. The purpose of the report is to highlight where completion of restrictive intervention data is poorer to improve data quality.
Restrictive intervention data is submitted to the Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS) and this is the main source of use of force data for restrictive interventions for patients in contact with Mental Health Services. Data on restrictive interventions for people with a learning disability or autistic people in mental health hospital is included in this publication in the MHSDS data tables.

Summary
Latest monthly statistics on people with a learning disability and autistic people in inpatient services from the Assuring Transformation (AT) collection and Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS).
Data on inpatients with learning disabilities and/or autism are being collected both within the AT collection and MHSDS. There are differences in the inpatient figures between the AT and MHSDS data sets and work has been ongoing to better understand these. LDA data from MHSDS are experimental statistics, however, while impacts from the cyber incident are still present they will be considered to be management information.
From April 2024, LDA MHSDS data has been collected under MHSDS version 6.
From 1 July 2022, Integrated Care Boards were established within Integrated Care Systems and replaced Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs). Clinical Commissioning Groups have been replaced by sub-Integrated Care Boards. Data for the AT collection is now submitted by sub-Integrated Care Boards. This has resulted in some renaming within tables and the inclusion of a new Table 5.1b with a patient breakdown by submitting organisation. Patients by originating organisation and commissioning type are still available in Table 5.1a. Data in the tables are now presented by the current organisational structures. Old organisational structures have been mapped to new structures in any time series.
