Dear Canterbury District Health Board,

I am seeking information on the performance and service of DHBs for their provision of mental health services. I would like data for the following:

For Community Mental Health; Child and adolescent metal health; and (Te Haika) Mental Health Crisis response:
• Number of distinct new entries/cases per month, by age group (five year bands if possible*), 2015 – 2020 calendar year • Number of total new entries/cases per month, by age group (five year bands), 2015 – 2020 calendar year • Number of distinct cases open at month end, by age group (five year bands), 2015 – 2020 calendar year • Number of distinct exits per month, by age group (five year bands if possible*), 2015 – 2020 calendar year • Number of total new exits per month, by age group (five year bands), 2015 – 2020 calendar year

For the DHB:
• Number of hospitalisations for mental health per year, by age group (five year bands), 2015 – 2020 calendar year • Number of people waitlisted to see a psychologist per year, by age group (five year bands), 2015 – 2020 calendar year • Number of people seeing a psychologist, per year, by age group (five year bands), 2015 – 2020 calendar year • Number of psychologists employed by the DHB at year end (split by part time, full time, contracted) by year, 2015 – 2020 calendar year

*Five year bands are ideally 0 – 5, 6 – 10, 11 -15, 16- 20, 21 – 25, 26 -30, etc. If there is too much suppression in those age bands can it please be in ten year age bands.

Yours faithfully,

Elodie Green
