To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether any future publications of the NHS Digital Mental Health Services Monthly Statistics will be affected by the cyber incident.

We expect that national data publications in the coming months will be affected by the cyber incident. NHS Digital and NHS England are continuing to monitor this situation and minimise any impacts on subsequent months’ publications.
It is expected that national publications will be affected by this incident for the rest of 2022. Providers of mental health services can resubmit data to the Mental Health Services Dataset for any month between April 2022 and February 2023 until May 2023. Any resubmitted data will contribute to the ‘end of year final’ mental health services data, which will be published shortly after and will include complete data for every month in 2022/23, including national data.
