Mental Health Services: Children and Young People

Answer

A finished admission episode (FAE) is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period.

The Healthcare and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) is able to provide data based on clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and Area Teams (AT) in England but not by local authority area. The table below shows the number of FAEs to a Mental Health and Learning Disability Trust outside of (a) CCG and (b) AT of Residence, for patients aged 0-15 and 16-18 in England and resident in London for years 2010-11 to 2014-15.
