Mental Health Services Data Set — illustrative submission pack

Not an official NHS England return — demonstration labels and synthetic values only

Synthetic demonstration: Illustrative submission built from fact_mh_referral_episode. Measure IDs (MHS23, MHS01, MHS29) align with public RDY concepts — values are DRH-only.

Why this matters for service performance

The same fact_mh_referral_episode row can legitimately appear in the local weekly demand pack but be excluded from the MHSDS-like submission — for example Primary Care Liaison where national inclusion rules differ from local operational counting.

Both definitions are valid for their purpose. The risk is using the dashboard referral count (154) for Board narrative when the agreed OPT-C count (134) is what mandatory reporting and demand monitoring should use after sign-off.

Local demand and access pack shares the central fact with different roll-up rules.

Definition migration — old case world vs new action world

Pre-migration: referral received = case opened in Legendary Care. Post-migration: referral received = agreed hybrid of case date and PathwayOne access actions, with exclusions for duplicates, admin, and reason-based rejections.
