Guide for use:

This data element is used to disaggregate data on beds, activity, expenditure and staffing for admitted patient settings in mental health service units (see service setting data element).

The order of priority for coding is:

  • where the forensic services are for children/adolescents or older persons these services should be coded to the category for that age group; and
  • where the forensic services are for adults these services should be coded to forensic.
