Number of community based services for people with mental health needs in an area per 1,000 population (10309) Metric type
- Help text
- This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file, the file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of community based services for people with mental health needs located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. These services provide care, treatment and support in the community for people with mental health needs, through a wide range of service models.
They employ a broad range of health and social care professionals mainly in multi-disciplinary teams.
They help people to recover by providing a broad range of interventions reflecting the psychological, social and physical needs of the individual.
People using these services may receive support over a long period or for short-term interventions. They may move between the various community teams to ensure that their changing needs are met, or be in contact with them simultaneously.
This may include providing care, treatment and support to people subject to supervised community treatment under the Mental Health Act 1983 (amended in 2007).
Examples of services that fit under this category:- Child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) (tiers 2, 3 and 4)
- Community-based services that provide assessment and treatment for people with mental health needs.
Data are extracted once a quarter and provide a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.
