<p>The NHS England collection KH03 collects the number of available and occupied beds
open overnight that are under the care of consultants. The data in the table should
be viewed in the context that since 2013/14, many trusts have started classifying
an increasing number of mental illness beds as non-consultant-led. This is because
some mental health services are now run by multi-disciplinary teams rather than consultants.</p><p>The
number of acute consultant-led mental health beds in the National Health Service in
England is shown in the following table. The table may not include all of the following
types of bed - adult secure mental illness; adult secure learning disability and autism;
adult eating disorder; child and mental health service Tier 4, including eating disorder;
perinatal and neuropsychiatry.</p><p>Prior to 2010-11 the KH03 was an annual return
collecting beds by ward classification. Data for 2008-10 is shown above the line in
the following table.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Period</p></td><td><p>Number of available
