answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2023 answer text <p>The information requested is not available in the format requested, due to limitations of the diagnosis data collected within the Mental Health Services Dataset.</p><p>Analysis shows that around 20-25% of people in the dataset have a diagnosis recorded, therefore any data provided for diagnosis would represent an undercount. Alternative data is presented showing the number of referrals to secondary mental health services where the primary reason for referral was bipolar disorder in England between 2021/22 and 2022/23.</p><p>According to NHS England, the number of referrals to mental health services in England where the primary reason for referral was recorded as bipolar disorder was 20,201 in 2021/22 and 19,805 in 2022/23. Additionally, data for 2022/23 were impacted by a cyber incident, which meant that some providers were unable to submit data and the number of referrals may be underreported.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 24/10/2023 10:13:04 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2023 answer text <p>We have no plans to do so as the recording of diagnoses in mental health datasets is not mandatory and what data is held is not of sufficient quality to allow a meaningful estimate to be made.</p><p>Prevalence data is essential in establishing need and unmet need in the population. The latest information on the number of adults with a diagnosable mental health condition was provided by the Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey in 2014 and the commissioning and delivery of the next survey was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that services have been reporting increase in demand and changes in the complexity of cases, so it is likely that estimates from that survey are limited in what they can tell us about current prevalence.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has commissioned the next iteration of the Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS), to provide estimates of the prevalence of mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder or similar, to inform service planning, commissioning and improvement. Fieldwork on the APMS has begun and will conclude Spring 2024, with reporting early 2025.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 30/05/2023 08:36:26 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
