Notes:

1. The MHSDS contains record-level data about the care of children, young people and adults who are in contact with mental health, learning disabilities or autistic spectrum disorder services. The MHSDS has been collected from January 2016.
2. Children and Young People Mental Health Services includes those services indentified within the MHSDS as having a designated Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) tier and additionally services to specified child mental health services where a CAMHS tier has not been present. Where this identifying information is not present in the dataset for a record, this would not be used in counts where accessing a specific mental health service type is a qualifying citeria. Further information about the construction of the measures included in this analysis can be found in the metadata file published in the Mental Health Services Monthly Statistics report.
3. Children and Young People Mental Health Services counts may include people aged over 18 years who are transitioning to adult mental health services.
4. All values have been rounded to the nearest 5.
