Details
The data was less detailed in the first year of collection 2001/02 and some services were defined or grouped differently. This does not affect the highest level analysis e.g. total investment in year, but it does impact more detailed comparative analysis with later years. Consequently comparisons at service group level commence from 2002/03.
Previous years’ information has been adjusted by the GDP Deflator Figures for 31st March 2011 published by HM Treasury to adjust past investment to constant prices.
The older adult mental health (OPMH) report provides details of the level of investment in mental health services covering people aged 65 and above, in England for 2010/11 and compares it with the reported results in previous years since 2006/07.
The working age adult (WAA) mental health analysis provides the following overall key findings:
- Total investment in WAA mental health services in 2010/11 was £6.550 billion or £195.8 per head of weighted working age population.
- Total investment increased from £6.323 billion in 2009/10 to £6.550 billion which is a 3.6% cash increase and a real increase of 0.7%.
