<p>We do not hold the data in the format requested. However, outlined below is a count
of patients admitted to hospital with a primary diagnosis of a mental and behavioural
disorder, and a count of patients who attended accident and emergency (A&E) (excluding
planned attendances) with a diagnosis of a psychiatric condition: once, twice, three,
four and five or more times within the same year, for patients aged 0-18 who were
admitted to hospital or attended A&E for 2010/11-2013/14.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</em></p><p> </p><p>1. Since a patient may attend A&E and then be admitted to
hospital the figures from the two tables should not be added together.</p><p> </p><p>2.
The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 20 (14 from 2002/03 to 2006/07 and seven
prior to 2002/03) diagnosis fields in the HES data set and provides the main reason
why the patient was admitted to hospital. ICD-10 codes used: F00-F99 mental and behavioural
disorders excluding F17 - mental and behavioural disorders due to use of tobacco.</p><p>
</p><p>3. HES figures are available from 1989/90 onwards. Changes to the figures over
time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage
(particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity
(particularly from 2006/07) and changes in NHS practice. For example, apparent reductions
in activity may be due to a number of procedures which may now be undertaken in outpatient
settings and so no longer include in admitted patient HES data.</p><p> </p><p>4. The
following code was used to identify psychiatric conditions within the A&E dataset:
35 = psychiatric conditions. Please note that the recording of the diagnosis field
within the A&E data set is not mandatory. It is not known to what extent changes
over time are as a result of improvements in recording practice.</p><p> </p><p>5.
HES figures are available from 2007/08 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need
to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage and
changes in NHS practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes in
the provision of care. Note that HES include activity ending in the year in question
and run from April to March, e.g. 2012/13 includes activity occurring between 1st
April 2012 and 31st March 2013.</p><p> </p><p>6. HES are compiled from data sent by
more than 300 NHS trusts in England and from some independent sector organisations
for activity commissioned by the English NHS. The NHS Information Centre for health
and social care liaises closely with these organisations to encourage submission of
complete and valid data and seeks to minimise inaccuracies. While this brings about
improvement over time, some shortcomings remain.</p><p> </p>
