You asked

I would like to know:

  • The number of females aged 18 and under that have registered or have been diagnosed with a mental health issue/disorder (whichever term is used)

    • If possible, please could this be broken down by ethnicity/background

  • The number of males aged 18 and under that have registered or have been diagnosed with a mental health issue/disorder (whichever term is used)

    • If possible, please could this be broken down by ethnicity/background

Please note I do not require the type of mental health to be provided.

I would like this data broken down by quarter of diagnosis, using the most recent quarter possible (July-Sep 2020?). I.e. so that I can deduce: In q3 2020, XXXX females aged 18 and under were diagnosed with a mental health disorder, and be able to compare that historically.

Please provide the data since records began. If that is not possible please provide the data for 10 years.
