Are all organisations submitting data about the Act?
Types of organisations submitting data
Not all organisations are yet submitting data about the Act in the MHSDS, or the new Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS). Compared to 2015-16 coverage is highest amongst NHS mental health providers. It is lowest amongst Independent Service Providers (ISPs) and also NHS Acute providers following the introduction of the ECDS.
But even amongst organisations submitting data, some of the data are not complete. Some are not submitting data of sufficient quality to allow accurate detention statistics to be derived from the record-level MHSDS data, resulting in a shortfall.
Therefore comparisons to detentions data from the KP90 return up to 2015-16 are not valid at national level.
