An issue was uncovered which meant that rates relating to IMD where lower than the true value. The counts presented for IMD are correct. 

This issue extends to metrics (including sub metrics) relating to IPS Access (MHS116), CYP Access (MHS95), Detentions (MHS157), CTOs (MHS158) and OAPS. Incorrect data has been removed from this publication. Provisional data will not be restated but these metrics will be released correctly as part of the end of year final data.

Please note, NHS England is aware of an issue with metric MH148 (Number of open referrals with a Presenting Complaint recorded at the end of the reporting period). The issue means that data is estimated to be 25-30% higher than the true value. Given this data is provided to support data quality and provide context, no action is being taken to correct these figures for 24-25. Data for 25-26 will be corrected in due course with the publication of the end of year files.
