Percentage service users accessing inpatient and community services

The 2021/22 data can be extracted from the webtool Mental Health and Addiction: Service Use web tool – Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand

PP6 (MH01) - Improving the health status of people with severe mental illness through improved access

Note: Nelson Marlborough DHB provider arm has not reported to PRIMHD for over a year as at August 2019 which was impacting on their (and national) access rates.

MH02 - Improving mental wellbeing: Improving mental health services using transition (discharge) planning

The tables show the percentage of all service users with a transition(discharge)/wellness plans by quarter and the self-assessed quality of the plans for each DHB’s mental health and addiction community and inpatient services. DHBs do not use a uniform reporting system, and a blank indicates the DHB has not collected data rather than that it has no transition plans in place.
