Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Statistics Data

***This dataset has been discontinued and replaced with the Mental Health Services Monthly Statistics dataset, available at https://data.gov.uk/dataset/mental-health-services-monthly-statistics***

The Mental Health Minimum Data Set (MHMDS) was renamed Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Data Set (MHLDDS) following an expansion in scope (from September 2014) to include people in contact with learning disability services for the first time.

This monthly statistical release makes available the most recent Mental Health Minimum Dataset (MHMDS) data from April 2013 onwards. Further analysis to support currencies and payment in adult and older people's mental health services was added to the publication of April 2014 final data which can be found in the related links below. These changes are described in the Methodological Change paper referenced below.

As well as providing timely data, it presents a wide range of information about care given to users of NHS-funded, secondary mental health services for adults and older people ('secondary mental health services') in England.

This information will be of particular interest to organisations involved in giving secondary mental health care to adults and older people, as it presents timely information to support discussions between providers and commissioners of services. The MHMDS Monthly Report now includes the ten nationally recommended quality and outcome indicators to support the implementation of currencies and payment in mental health.

For patients, researchers, agencies and the wider public it aims to provide up to date information about the numbers of people using services, spending time in psychiatric hospitals and subject to the Mental Health Act (MHA). Some of these measures are currently experimental analysis.

本数据集已停止更新，取而代之的是《心理健康服务月度统计》数据集，可通过https://data.gov.uk/dataset/mental-health-services-monthly-statistics获取。

心理健康最低数据集（Mental Health Minimum Data Set, MHMDS）于2014年9月扩展服务范围，首次纳入接触学习障碍服务的人群，因此更名为《心理健康与学习障碍数据集》（Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Data Set, MHLDDS）。

本次月度统计发布提供了2013年4月以来最新的心理健康最低数据集（MHMDS）数据。2014年4月发布的最终数据中新增了用于支撑成人及老年心理健康服务经费核算与支付的分析内容，相关内容可通过下方相关链接查阅，此次调整的详细说明可参见下文引用的《方法学变更》论文。

本数据集不仅提供时效性较强的统计数据，还涵盖英格兰地区由英国国民保健制度（National Health Service, NHS）资助的成人及老年二级心理健康服务（以下简称“二级心理健康服务”）使用者的相关护理信息。

该数据集对参与成人及老年二级心理健康服务供给的机构具有重要参考价值，可为服务提供者与委托方之间的沟通会商提供及时的数据支撑。心理健康最低数据集月度报告现已纳入十项全国推荐的质量与结果指标，以支撑心理健康服务的经费核算与支付工作。

本数据集面向患者、研究人员、相关机构及广大公众，旨在提供使用服务的人数、在精神病院接受治疗的时长以及受《精神卫生法》（Mental Health Act, MHA）约束的人群的最新统计信息。其中部分指标目前仍属于实验性分析范畴。
