The MHLDA Indicators dataset provides a month-by month tracking of trends within key mental health services. The data is collected quarterly and covers adult acute & older adult inpatient services, adult community services, CYP general & community services, talking therapies services and both adult & child learning disability/ASD services.
The monthly data is submitted and published quarterly enabling mental health service providers understand their relative positions and monthly trends against peers on metrics such as referrals, contacts, caseload and wait times as well as workforce metrics such as sickness absence rates and vacancy rates.
The dataset is UK wide and produces bespoke reports each quarter, for those who have participated. Covering fewer metrics than the annual datasets across a more current time period, enabling monthly/quarterly analysis across the organisational landscape. Not only can you benchmark month-on-month, participants can track how their organisation trends track against the sample trend.
