Mental Health Services Monthly Statistics, Performance June 2025
Official statistics
Mental Health Publication consultation
As part of ongoing work to review current reporting via the Mental Health Services Monthly Statistics and the annual Mental Health Bulletin publication series, a number of potential changes have been identified. The overarching objective of this review is to streamline and consolidate MHSDS metrics, publications and dashboards. In doing so, we are aiming to strike the right balance between the views and needs of users of the data and the business requirement to move to a more sustainable publication schedule that matches our analytical capacity, while providing key information covered by the Bulletin, such as equality, in a form and frequency that better meets the needs of the system.
The consultation on the future of the monthly statistics publication can be found here: https://forms.office.com/e/YW4Q9ka8q9
There is a separate consultation on the retirement of the annual Bulletin which you can find here: https://forms.office.com/e/TSS0cgNSjK
These consultations close at 23:59 on Sunday 12th October 2025.

Up to date data on MHA measures
Coinciding with the release of an updated dashboard displaying data relating to the Mental Health Act, an additional file has been added to this publication. This file includes all of the data now included regarding the uses of the Mental Health Act (as published from the July 2025 release). The file is based on data using the multiple submissions window model, with data for April, May and June being run using the July cut to feed the dashboard. This dashboard will then include performance data going forwards with data being refreshed with End of Year data once available.
