• The number of MHA assessments arranged and attended by an AMHP in 2022 (we appreciate that some may be arranged, the AMHP (and doctors) may attend but the assessment cannot be completed for a variety of reasons)?

• The number of MHA assessments completed in 2022 (ideally broken down by outcome eg detention under s2, detention under s3, no detention- referral to CMHT etc)?

• The number of MHA assessments arranged and attended by an AMHP in 2023?

• The number of MHA assessments completed in 2023 (again, ideally broken down by outcome)?

• The number of assessments undertaken in 2023 on out of area individuals (ie those registered with GPs in other local authority/ICB areas but currently located within your boundaries)?

• The number of assessments undertaken in 2023 which were conducted out of area (ie those involving patients registered with a GP in your local authority/ICB area but currently located in another area)?

• Where you commission independent/self-employed AMHPs to undertake MHA assessments what is the standard fee (in 2023) you pay them?

• Do you make payment to the (independent/self-employed) AMHP where an assessment cannot be completed (but the AMHP attends the arranged location)? (if so, is this at the same rate?)

• Do you make payment for mileage incurred to undertake assessments? If so, what is the rate (in 2023)?

• Is this same mileage rate paid to substantive/rota AMHPS as well as independent/self-employed AMHPs?
