Further data development / collection required: | This indicator cannot be constructed using the Mental Health Establishments NMDS because information about catchment areas is not available for all public mental health service organisations. There is no proxy solution available. To construct this indicator at a national level requires separate indicator data to be provided individually by states and territories. Catchment area data for all public mental health service organisations needs to be available to report this indicator from national sources. |
Other issues caveats: | This indicator assumes that the expenditure reported by the local mental health service organisation is directed to its catchment population and does not take account of cross border flows. The alternative approach of basing estimates on actual service utilisation by populations is desirable and needs to be explored in the future. Such an approach will require reliable utilisation data and development of cost modelling methodologies. |
