Introduction
These tables provide aggregated statistical information on uses of the Mental Health Act ('the Act') in England for patients formally detained in hospitals and patients subject to Community
Treatment Orders (CTOs). They provide time series data and breakdowns by type of organisation (NHS and independent sector) and data relating to the legal status of people detained under the
Act.
The data sources for each measure are noted at the top of each column of data. In 2016-17, the data were sourced from the Mental Health Services Data Set for the first time (data on uses of the
Act in acute settings were collected via the MHA Acute collection in 2016-17 and 2017-18, and then from the Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS) from 2019-20 onwards). Prior to this, data was
sourced from the KP90 aggregate data collection.
Data tables 8a - c provided include counts of continuous Mental Health Act episodes which ended within 2020-21 and the total length detention for these episodes. The data is presented as
counts of episodes with median, lower quartile and upper quartile lengths of detention being included alongside these.
Where counts and lengths of detention are presented by Section, this represents the most severe level of restrictiveness used in the continuous Mental Health Act episode. The order of severity
for the Mental Health Act sections is included in Appendix 1.
Due to coverage issues, counts of events and people produced from these new data sources are incomplete and should not be compared to data from the KP90 collection. The data presented
for length of detention considers data from across the Mental Health Services Dataset (MHSDS), dating back to January 2016. As such when calculating the total length of detention there are
issues in that data previous to January 2016 is not recorded and then subsequently there are issues around coverage and completeness. Please refer to the notes above each table. Users
should also consult the Background Data Quality Report for further information on these issues.
The Gender reported in this publication uses the Person Stated Gender Code. As part of the improvements to the MHSDS dataset in version 5, additional gender data items, including a Gender
Identity Code and Gender Same As Birth indicator are being added to improve the way that gender is reported in the dataset.
Further information on these changes is available at: Implementation tools and guidance: Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS) v5.0 - NHS Digital

Methodology
Tables 8a - c presented calculates a length of detention based on a persons contiguous Mental Health Act spell.
implemented in January 2016, it should only be expected that active Mental Health Act episodes from this date h
potentially reduce the total continuous episode in some cases. The exact impact and scale of this is unknown.
When calculating the length of detention, a persons detentions and CTOs are considered and then mapped to cr
continuous days is calculated. Where a person had an episode which ends and is followed by a new episode the
If a person has a recorded MHA Episode that is not closed, then the record will be checked to see when the refe

The analysis presented is by the most restrictive section used in the continuous spell. For example if a person w
Section 3 as this is the most restrictive Section used. For more details on the ordering of the Mental Health Act S
Omissions
Please note that the following are not included in the analysis of continuous detentions:
1) Informal detention periods
2) Episodes where the Section used was not known or not recorded
3) Conditional Discharges
Episodes with a start date of 01/01/1900 have also been removed from the analysis.
Table 1a
Detentions under the Mental Health Act 1983, by legal status and provider type, 2013-14 to 2020-21
This table shows the number of detentions starting in the year, including both civil detentions under Part II and detentions via the Criminal Justice
System under Part III of the Act.
From 2016-17, data is not comparable to previous years due to the change in data source from the KP90 collection to the MHSDS. For further details
please refer to the Background Data Quality Report.
Detentions are broken down into those occurring on admission and those that followed admission to hospital. The total also includes detentions
following use of a Place of Safety order or after the revocation of a Community Treatment Order (CTO).
The count of detentions does not include uses of Sections 4, 5(2) & 5(4) or 135 & 136, which are presented in Table 2 as Uses of Short Term Orders.
A short term order may be followed by a detention under Sections 2 or 3, and these detentions are shown under the heading ‘Detentions following
admission to hospital’ and ‘Detentions following use of Place of Safety Order’.
Data for NHS Providers and Independent Sector Providers only includes data from MHSDS for 2020-21. This is due to small numbers in the ECDS
data so these have not been included in these counts to prevent disclosure of small numbers.

Footnotes:
1) For 2016-17 data, there is a discrepancy of 8 detentions between the 'All detentions' figure and the sum of the individual categories. For 2017-18 data, there is a discrepancy of 9 detentions between the 'All detentions' figure and the sum of the individual categories. For 2018-19 data, there is a discrepency of 15
detentions between the 'All detentions' figure and the sum of the individual categories. For 2019-20 data, there is a discrepancy of 9 detentions between the 'All detentions' figure and the sum of the individual categories. For 2020-21 data, there is a discrepency of 29 detentions between the 'All detentions' figure and the sum
of the individual categories. This is due to difficulties in determining the sequence of events in these cases, using the record-level MHSDS data.
2) In 2016-17, 7,091 transfers on section were recorded. Of these 5,528 were recorded by NHS providers and 1,563 were recorded by Independent Sector providers. In 2017-18, 4,747 transfers on section were recorded. Of these 3,783 were recorded by NHS providers and 964 were recorded by Independent Sector
providers. In 2018-19, 4,909 transfers on section were recorded. Of these 3,900 were recorded by NHS providers and 1,009 were recorded by Independent Sector providers. In 2019-20, 5,253 transfers on section were recorded. Of these 4,268 were recorded by NHS providers and 985 were recorded by Independent Sector
providers. In 2020-21, 4,807 transfers on section were recorded. Of these 3,736 were recorded by NHS providers and 1,071 were recorded by Independent Sector providers.
3) From 2016-17, numbers for detentions on admission and detentions following admission to hospital are affected by the quality of time recording in MHSDS. Further details are provided in the Background Data Quality Report.
4) For 2016-17 and 2017-18, this total is higher than the sum of components due to the inclusion of data from the Acute collection for 'any other formal admissions', which cannot be allocated to any of the components.
5) For 2017-18, 2019-20 and 2020-21, there is a discrepancy of one detention between the total and components due to a data quality issue.
6) Detentions recorded in ECDS have been all been included in the Detentions on Admission category only. This is because it has not been possible to conclude whether the detention occured on admission or following admission. The detentions that occured appear to have happened on the same day but further analysis
and improved data quality is required to improve reporting of detentions on admission and following admission in ECDS.
7) Data for NHS and Independent provider splits is only displayed from MHSDS for 2020-21. This is due to small numbers in the ECDS data for Independent providers.

1) The total for 'All' is calculated from both the MHSDS and ECDS collections. It includes detentions where the age and gender details were not submitted.
The totals for 'All age groups' and 'All genders' are from MHSDS only since the ECDS collection does not allow for further demographic breakdowns.
2) The total for 'All genders' is lower than for 'All' as these exclude records where these characteristics were either recorded as 'Not stated' and 'Not known'
or where they were not submitted.

Table 1c
This table shows the numbers and rates of detention by ethnicity, for 2020-21.
Detentions data are incomplete in 2020-21 so the counts and rates shown are lower than the true figures. However, broad comparisons between groups are valid.
Population figures are from the 2011 Census as ONS mid-year estimates do not include updates for ethnicity.
The population figures use 2011 Census categories. The 2011 Census introduced the new Gypsy or Irish Traveller and Arab categories. MHSDS does not allow for data to be submitted with
these new categories and as such for the purpose of analysis the new Gypsy or Irish Traveller and Arab categories have not been included. The population figure for Gypsy or Irish Traveller is
included in the total population figures for the broad category of White and the population figure for Arab is included in the population figures for Any Other Ethnic Group category. The inclusion
of these groups could affect the rate for the Any other ethnic group.
Although Gypsy and Arab are identified in the population figures, since these groups are not separately identified in the MHSDS, we cannot produce separate rates for these groups. We also do
not know which categories these people would have identified as belonging to in the MHSDS. For example, an Arab person may have self-identified as Asian or Any Other Ethnic group and the
way this affects the rates shown is unknown.
The broad groupings shown below follow the 2001 Census groupings, which are still used in the NHS. However the 2011 census re-positions 'Chinese' from Any other ethnic group to
Asian/Asian British. This means that figures using 2011 Census categories will not be comparable with any using 2001 Census categories for 'Any Other Ethnic Group' and 'Asian/Asian British'.

Missing data for particular providers means that comparisons between STP areas must be made with caution, as areas with low completion rates will
record low rates of detention which are not representative of the true picture. For further details of shortfalls in coverage, please refer to the Background
Data Quality Report.

Table 2a
Uses of Short Term Orders under the Mental Health Act 1983 by provider type, 2013-14 to 2020-21
Notes:
This table shows the number of uses of Sections 4, 5(2), 5(4), 135 and 136 during each period.
From 2016-17, data is not comparable to previous years due to the change in data source from the KP90 collection to the MHSDS. For further details please refer to the Background Data Quality Report.
Short-term detention orders are those of no greater than 24 hours' duration, except where a doctor has approved a further 12 hour extension. Prior to December 2017, the time limit for these orders was 72 hours.
The figures for Place of Safety orders only include those where the ‘place of safety’ was a hospital. Orders made where the ‘place of safety’ was a police station are reported separately by the Home Office.
Data for NHS Providers and Independent Sector Providers only includes data from MHSDS for 2020-21. This is due to small numbers in the ECDS data so these have not been included in these counts to prevent disclosure of small numbers.

Table 2c
Uses of Short Term Detention Orders (Place of Safety Orders: Section 136) under the Mental Health
Act 1983 by ethnicity 2020-21
This table shows counts and rates of uses of section 136 by ethnicity, in 2020-21.
Data about uses of Section 136 are incomplete in 2020-21 so the counts and rates shown are lower than the true
figures.
Population figures are from the 2011 Census as ONS mid-year estimates do not include updates for ethnicity.
Short-term detention orders are defined as those of no greater than 24 hours' duration, except where a doctor has approved a further 12 hour
extension. Prior to December 2017, the time limit for these orders was 72 hours.
This data only includes those uses where the Place of Safety was a hospital. Orders made where the Place of Safety was a police station are reported
separately by the Home Office.
The population figures use 2011 Census categories. The 2011 Census introduced the new Gypsy or Irish Traveller and Arab categories. MHSDS does
not allow for data to be submitted with these new categories and as such for the purpose of analysis the new Gypsy or Irish Traveller and Arab
categories have not been included. The population figure for Gypsy or Irish Traveller is included in the total population figures for the broad category of
White and the population figure for Arab is included in the population figures for Any Other Ethnic Group category. The inclusion of these groups could
affect the rate for the Any other ethnic group.
Although Gypsy and Arab are identified in the population figures, since these groups are not separately identified in the MHSDS, we cannot produce
separate rates for these groups. We also do not know which categories these people would have identified as belonging to in the MHSDS. For
example, an Arab person may have self-identified as Asian or Any Other Ethnic group and the way this affects the rates shown is unknown.
The broad groupings shown below follow the 2001 Census groupings, which are still used in the NHS. However the 2011 census re-positions 'Chinese'
from Any other ethnic group to Asian/Asian British. This means that figures using 2011 Census categories will not be comparable with any using 2001
Census categories for 'Any Other Ethnic Group' and 'Asian/Asian British'.

Table 3a
This table shows the number of uses of Community Treatment Orders (CTOs) during each period.
Although a change in legal status from 'Informal to CTO' or 'Other sections to CTO' should not be possible, analysis of the MHSDS data shows that these transitions are being observed in the data
submitted. This is shown below to highlight possible data quality issues.
Data about uses of CTOs are incomplete in the MHSDS and should not be compared to data from the KP90 data source.

Footnotes:
1) From 2016-17 to 2020-21, data submitted to the MHSDS table MHS404 (Community Treatment Orders) by Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust (RW5) has been excluded from the CTO counts due to data quality issues.
2) Whilst the Mental Health Act does not allow people to go from an informal admission to a Community Treatment Order these numbers have been included to highlight the data quality issues surrounding CTO data. This includes the preceeding legal status being recorded as being not applicable or a missing value.
3) In the MHSDS, this includes a variety of scenarios including instances where the preceeding legal status was stated as unknown.
4) Where the revocations of CTO are higher than the CTO recalls to hospital it is likely that these counts do not match up due to the fact that these are in year counts. As such it is possible for a person to be be recalled to hospital in the previous reporting period and then have their CTO revoked in this reporting period.

Footnotes
1) ONS mid-year population estimates 2020.
2) The total for 'All genders' is lower than for 'All' and 'All age groups' as this excludes records where these characteristics were either recorded as 'Not stated'
and 'Not known' or where they were not submitted.

Table 3c
This table shows the numbers and rates of CTO use by ethnicity, for 2020-21.
Population figures are from the 2011 Census as ONS mid-year estimates do not include updates for ethnicity.
Detentions data are incomplete in 2020-21 so the counts and rates shown may be lower than the true figures. However, broad comparisons between groups
are valid.
The population figures use 2011 Census categories. The 2011 Census introduced the new Gypsy or Irish Traveller and Arab categories. MHSDS does not allow for data to be submitted with
these new categories and as such for the purpose of analysis the new Gypsy or Irish Traveller and Arab categories have not been included. The population figure for Gypsy or Irish Traveller
is included in the total population figures for the broad category of White and the population figure for Arab is included in the population figures for Any Other Ethnic Group category. The
inclusion of these groups could affect the rate for the Any other ethnic group.
Although Gypsy and Arab are identified in the population figures, since these groups are not separately identified in the MHSDS, we cannot produce separate rates for these groups. We also
do not know which categories these people would have identified as belonging to in the MHSDS. For example, an Arab person may have self-identified as Asian or Any Other Ethnic group
and the way this affects the rates shown is unknown.
The broad groupings shown below follow the 2001 Census groupings, which are still used in the NHS. However the 2011 census re-positions 'Chinese' from Any other ethnic group to
Asian/Asian British. This means that figures using 2011 Census categories will not be comparable with any using 2001 Census categories for 'Any Other Ethnic Group' and 'Asian/Asian
British'.

Footnotes
1) The total for 'All' is calculated from both the MHSDS and ECDS collections. It includes detentions where the age and gender details were not submitted. Further breakdowns are from
MHSDS only since the ECDS collection does not allow for further demographic breakdowns.
2) The total for 'All ethnicities' is lower than for 'All' as it excludes records where any of age, gender or ethnicity was either recorded as 'Not stated' and 'Not known' or where it was not
submitted. This information was required for direct standardisation of population-based rates.

Table 4
Uses of Sections 2 and 3 of the Mental Health Act 1983 by provider type, 2013-14 to 2020-21
This table presents all uses of Sections 2 and 3, by section. All the figures are included in Table 1, except the change in legal status from Section 2 to 3 (the patient is already detained when the section 3 starts) and ‘other sections to Section 3’, which cover unexpected
scenarios in the data, not part of the previous publication series.
From 2016-17, data is not comparable to previous years due to the change in data source from the KP90 collection to the MHSDS. For further details please refer to the Background Data Quality Report.
Data for NHS Providers and Independent Sector Providers only includes data from MHSDS for 2020-21. This is due to small numbers in the ECDS data so these have not been included in these counts to prevent disclosure of small numbers.

Footnotes:
1) Data for NHS and Independent provider splits is only displayed from MHSDS for 2020-21. This is due to small numbers in the ECDS data for Independent providers.
2) Totals include data from ECDS but the breakdwons only include MHSDS data.
3) Detentions recorded in ECDS have been all been included in the Detentions on Admission category only. This is because it has not been possible to conclude whether the detention occured on admission or following admission. The detentions that
occured appear to have happened on the same day but further analysis and improved data quality is required to improve reporting of detentions on admission and following admission in ECDS.

Table 5
People subject to the Mental Health Act 1983 on 31st March, by provider, 2015 to 2021
This table shows, by provider, the number of people subject to the Mental Health Act on 31st March each year. It is a snapshot of activity on the last day of each annual reporting period.
Caution should be used in making comparisons between periods where the data source has changed as not all organisations that submitted to the KP90 collection are submitting to the MHSDS. For further information please refer to the Background Data Quality Report.
Providers have been grouped based on their Organisational Data Service (ODS) code. Independent hospitals in the KP90 without a parent ODS code were grouped into the 'Other Independent Sector Healthcare Providers' group at the bottom of this table. Individual provider figures are available in the metadata file that accompanies this release. Local knowledge
may be required to interpret changes between years.
'*' indicates the value has been suppressed. From 2013-14, sub-national figures between 0 and 4 are suppressed and all numbers are rounded to the nearest 5. National figures are unrounded and unsuppressed. '-' indicates where an organisation had no data. For more information on disclosure control rules please refer to the Background Data Quality report.

Footnotes:
1) For counts derived from MHSDS data, the totals for 'All Providers' may not match the sum of individual providers' data, or the sum of the two categories 'NHS Providers' and 'Independent Providers'. This is due to data quality
issues which mean that a person can be recorded as being subject to the Act at 31st March in two or more different providers.
2) From 2019, Acute providers can provide data about their uses of the Act in the ECDS. However we were unable to derive counts of people from the ECDS data and therefore data from 2019 onwards are from MHSDS only.

Table 6
People subject to repeated detention under the Mental Health Act 1983, by age group, gender and ethnicity, 2020-21
This table shows how many times each person was detained (repeated detention) under the Mental Health Act 1983 during 2020-21. This type of analysis could not be performed from
the KP90 aggregate data collection.
Demographic breakdowns use the last set of person characteristics (e.g. age, gender or ethnicity) recorded in the year. This is to prevent instances where one person may have been
recorded with different characteristics in different submissions. By taking the latest available demographics this ensures each person is consistently assigned with one age, gender and
ethnic group. Caution should therefore be used when interpreting small numbers due to possible data quality issues.
Please note that this table shows people subject to repeated detention during 2020-21. It does not take into account detentions that occurred in previous periods.

Table 7a
Discharges from hospital when previously detained under the Mental Health Act 1983, by age
group and gender, 2020-21
This table shows the numbers and rates of discharge by age group and gender, for 2020-21. Discharges are
counted as people discharged from hospital who have been previously detained.
Detentions data are incomplete in 2020-21 so the counts and rates shown are lower than the true figures. However,
broad comparisons between groups are valid.

1) The total for 'All' detentions is calculated from both the MHSDS and ECDS collections. It includes detentions where the age and gender
details were not submitted. The totals for 'All age groups' and 'All genders' are from MHSDS only since the ECDS collection does not allow for
further demographic breakdowns.
2) The total for 'All' discharges is calculated from the MHSDS collection. Discharges are calculated with reference to both end of MHA section
and end of hospital spell. Where detentions follow concurrently, discharge is only recorded at the end of the final hospital spell rather than for
each separate detention. Discharge that occurs in the following year are not shown. Discharges following detention in the previous year are
also not shown. Rates of discharge are therefore only shown for broad comparison.
3) The total for 'All genders' is lower than for 'All' as these exclude records where these characteristics were either recorded as 'Not stated'
and 'Not known' or where they were not submitted.

Table 7b
Discharges from hospital when previously detained under the Mental Health Act 1983, by
ethnicity, 2020-21
This table shows the numbers and rates of discharge by ethnicity, for 2020-21.
Detentions data are incomplete in 2020-21 so the counts and rates shown are lower than the true figures. However, broad comparisons between groups are valid.
Population figures are from the 2011 Census as ONS mid-year estimates do not include updates for ethnicity.
The population figures use 2011 Census categories. The 2011 Census introduced the new Gypsy or Irish Traveller and Arab categories. MHSDS does not allow for data to be submitted with
these new categories and as such for the purpose of analysis the new Gypsy or Irish Traveller and Arab categories have not been included. The population figure for Gypsy or Irish Traveller is
included in the total population figures for the broad category of White and the population figure for Arab is included in the population figures for Any Other Ethnic Group category. The inclusion
of these groups could affect the rate for the Any other ethnic group.
Although Gypsy and Arab are identified in the population figures, since these groups are not separately identified in the MHSDS, we cannot produce separate rates for these groups. We also do
not know which categories these people would have identified as belonging to in the MHSDS. For example, an Arab person may have self-identified as Asian or Any Other Ethnic group and the
way this affects the rates shown is unknown.
The broad groupings shown below follow the 2001 Census groupings, which are still used in the NHS. However the 2011 census re-positions 'Chinese' from Any other ethnic group to
Asian/Asian British. This means that figures using 2011 Census categories will not be comparable with any using 2001 Census categories for 'Any Other Ethnic Group' and 'Asian/Asian British'.
