Abstract: This paper provides a comprehensive picture of mental health services in England, includingstaffing and expenditure, and the number of people in need and the number treated.Historically, this information has been split across sub-sections of the health and socialservices; and the readily available information often appeared to give inconsistent answers.This paper brings together and interprets the available evidence to provide a single coherentmap of mental health need and services, from children to older adults and across both healthand social care services, in England.
