¹ All figures are expressed at 1978–79 prices. The mental health expenditure is made up of the following:
(a) Hospital: in-patient and out-patient expenditure—the consultant specialities of mental health, child and adolescent psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, psychotherapy and old age psychiatry, day patient expenditure—in the categories mental health (alcoholism, drug abuse, psychogeriatrics and general), child and adolescent psychiatry and forensic psychiatry.
(b) Community: community mental health nursing expenditure and local authority personal social services for people with mental health problems.
(c) Health authority: hospital expenditure and community mental health nursing expenditure.
² Local authority personal social services data are not available for the years 1979–80 to 1985–86.
³ Figures for 1978–79, 1986–87 and 1987–88 are local authority personal social services expenditure only. The percentage change figure for 1987–88 on 1986–87 reflects this. Community mental health nursing expenditure was not collected separately in years before 1988–89. It was included with other community expenditure.
⁴ Figures for 1991–92 cannot be compared with those for 1990–91 for the following reasons:
(a) The introduction of the NHS reforms in 1991–92 and changes to accountancy practices; and
(b) The revision of the local authority personal social services expenditure return meaning that information on client group spend was provided directly by local authorities rather than being apportioned by the Department of Health.

Note:

1. Increases in local authority personal social services expenditure data in 1992–93 are, in part, due to refinement of the basis for Department of Health apportionment.
