This Statistics Release presents for the first time, information in regard to Mental Health Officers (MHOs) in Scotland as official statistics. The survey data used in this report has been collected since annually since 2005, at Local Authority level. The survey has been developed each year with new questions being added when a need for further information has been identified There was a substantial under count of staffing in 2005, due to managers working as MHOs not being included, this report will present data from the 2006 survey onwards. The aim of the survey is to collect information about the number of qualified MHOs who are practising within Scotland on the 31 March for a given year. Practising is defined as using legislation directly in relation to working with clients, or potentially using legislation directly in relation to clients e.g. serving on rotas, during the previous 12 months.
