Implementation in Data Set Specifications: All attributes +	Specialist Homelessness Services NMDS 2019- Homelessness, Standard 10/08/2018 DSS specific attributes + Conditional obligation: In the Specialist Homelessness Services NMDS, this item is only asked of clients. DSS specific information: In the Specialist Homelessness Services NMDS, this data element is collected for all clients. This data element is collected for the last service provision date within the reporting period. If the last provision of a service was also the end of the service episode, as recorded by the data element Service episode—episode end date, DDMMYYYY, then the same date will be recorded for both data elements. If the last provision of a service is not the end of the service episode (i.e. where other services continue to be provided) the actual date of the end of the service event should be recorded. However if the service event within the service episode is ongoing to the next reporting period, ie ongoing to the following month, then the Service event—last service provision date, DDMMYYYY will be recorded as the last day of the current month. This data element should ascertain the actual date of service, not the date when the data is recorded.
