Answer
The information requested cannot be provided.
The Hospital Episode Statistics data for March 2020 includes a small number of finished consultant episodes where there has been a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19 in inpatients in mental health hospitals. This number falls below the level that would be reported and the data are thereby suppressed under the disclosure controls applied to this data.
