Dumfries & Galloway record a large proportion of the discharges at Acorn House which is a facility that offers short-stay respite breaks for children & young people with learning disabilities. While this service is offered across Scotland, Dumfries & Galloway are the only NHS Board that record this activity on SMR04. All Orkney and Shetland psychiatric patients are treated by a mainland board as they have no psychiatric hospitals within their board area. Western Isles are also absent from this analysis, as the Western Isles Hospital, based in Stornoway, does not have specialist Learning Disability inpatient facilities. | [Health board codes] (https://www.opendata.nhs.scot/dataset/geography-codes-and-labels/resource/652ff726-e676-4a20-abda-435b98dd7bdc) |
