Our top indicators
Welcome to Mental Health Watch
Mental Health Watch will keep you in touch with how well the mental health system in England, Scotland and Wales is performing. Produced by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, it will help you track and analyse trends, and inform you about what the data is saying. Read more about this site.
Mental Health Watch was initially launched as a tool to hold the UK Government to account on the delivery of the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health and NHS Long Term Plan in England. In 2025 it has started to expand to cover indicators for Scotland and Wales, with further expansion into Northern Ireland when regular datasets are published there.
The site has been updated with the latest available data as of February 2025, with updates continuing as new monthly and quarterly data is released.
