In August, statistics on mental health were added to NHS England’s Monthly Operational Statistics, which are published online, for the very first time. Sitting alongside figures on urgent and emergency care and elective recovery and cancer, the mental health statistics gave an overview of the rise in prevalence of mental health conditions since the Covid-19 pandemic. Statistics on Mental Health Support Teams in schools and colleges were also included as well as CYP provision more generally and positive referral and experience figures for people seen by NHS Talking Therapies services.
