(1) Data for 1986 relate to the calendar year and are
taken from the Mental Health Enquiry. The Enquiry was replaced
in April 1987 by the Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) system.
Figures for 1991-92 onwards are derived from HES and relate to
financial years. Since 1991-92, the data relate to discharges
from the care of individual providers (Trust or Directly Managed
Unit); they include transfers to other NHS providers.
(2) Estimates for 1996-97 are provisional and are based
on returns from 5 regional office areas.
(3) Percentages have been calculated using unrounded
figures.
