This question was answered on 22nd February 2016
Experimental data on non-specialist out of area treatments for inpatients has been published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) since July 2015. Non specialist includes acute, older adult, psychiatric intensive care and rehabilitation treatment. There will be a gap in publication of this data from March 2016 whilst a new dataset is being introduced by HSCIC which will include data on out of area treatments.
