Footnotes:
(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 five regional office areas.
(3) Total includes those episodes where the duration of stay is not known.
(4) Percentages have been calculated using unrounded figures.
