Access to timely and appropriate mental health support during childhood and adolescence is a significant public health priority, with evidence showing that early intervention can substantially improve long-term outcomes. Monitoring access rates locally helps commissioners understand whether services are reaching those most in need and where gaps in provision may exist.</p>\n\n<h2>Rationale</h2>\n<p>Mental health conditions in children and young people are widespread and often go unmet. <strong>Increasing access to Children and Young People's Mental Health Services (CYPMHS) is a key objective within both national and local mental health strategies</strong>, including NHS Long Term Plan commitments to expand access and reduce waiting times. By tracking the rate of 5 to 17 year olds with identified mental disorders who are engaging with secondary care services, this indicator provides insight into how effectively services are reaching the population with the greatest clinical need, and where investment or service redesign may be required.</p>\n\n<h2>Numerator</h2>\n<p>The numerator is the <strong>number of children and young people aged 0 to 17 with one or more contacts \u2014 direct or indirect \u2014 recorded in secondary care mental health services</strong>, sourced from the Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS) Commissioner Extracts.</p>\n\n<h2>Denominator</h2>\n<p>The denominator is the <strong>estimated population of children and young people with a mental disorder</strong> \u2014 defined as Any Mental Disorder (AMD) for ages 5 to 15, and Common Mental Disorder (CMD) for ages 16 and over \u2014 derived by applying Fingertips prevalence rates to the BSOL population sourced from NHS Spine.</p>\n\n<h2>Caveats</h2>\n<p>Users should be aware that <strong>the population denominator for all financial years is based on current NHS Spine volumes and does not flex to reflect population sizes in previous years</strong>. This means that historical figures may not fully account for changes in the underlying population over time, and trend comparisons should be interpreted with care. As prevalence rates are modelled estimates rather than directly observed counts, there is inherent uncertainty in the denominator that will affect the precision of the resulting access rate.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/pages/birmingham-and-solihull-icp-outcomes-framework-inequalities-explorer/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here</a> to explore more from the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Partnerships Outcome Framework.</p>", "https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/dataset/access-to-children-and-young-people-s-mental-health-services-icp-outcomes-framework-birmingham-and-solihull/", "Birmingham and Solihull ICP", "https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/", "2026-02-19T12:58:46+00:00", "2026-02-19T12:58:46+00:00", "[\"children\", \"deprivation\", \"ethnicity\", \"health\", \"icp\", \"inequalities explorer\", \"inequality\", \"integrated care partnership\", \"local authority\", \"local authority district\", \"mental health\", \"quality and outcomes framework\"]", "[\"https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/?refine.theme=Health\"]", "https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/dataset/access-to-children-and-young-people-s-mental-health-services-icp-outcomes-framework-birmingham-and-solihull/", "https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/dataset/access-to-children-and-young-people-s-mental-health-services-icp-outcomes-framework-birmingham-and-solihull/"]], "columns": ["portal_id", "key", "harvest_id", "title", "description", "landing_page", "publisher", "licence", "issued", "modified", "keywords", "themes", "uri", "identifier"], "primary_keys": ["portal_id", "key"], "primary_key_values": ["cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk", "https://www.cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/dataset/access-to-children-and-young-people-s-mental-health-services-icp-outcomes-framework-birmingham-and-solihull/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 3.7370290001490503, "source": "Dateno, DataPortals.org, data.europa.eu, opendatArchives, and each portal's DCAT catalogue", "source_url": "https://github.com/datenoio/dataportals-registry", "license": "CC BY 4.0 (portal directory, derived from Dateno); dataset metadata as each portal publishes it", "license_url": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
