The answer

Answered by Maureen Watt on 22 Dec 2016 · 17 days after it was lodged, on time

The Inpatient Bed Census for mental health, addictions and learning disability identifies 95 NHS Scotland facilities containing wards covered by the census. Anyone with a mental illness can be treated in these wards.
Undertaken in 2014 and 2016 the Inpatient Bed Census has provided detailed data that identifies the status of bed usage across Scotland and provides a basis for planning and development of future mental health services. The census shows a continuing reduction in the number of psychiatric inpatients, with more people being treated in a community setting or while living at home. This reflects the longer term shift in the provision of care from hospital based to community based and that bed occupancy was 85%
- achieving the best practice figure set by the Royal College of Psychiatrists for provision in meeting need across Scotland.
