Community Services Statistics, February 2026
Experimental statistics, Official statistics in development
Summary
This is a monthly report on publicly funded community services for people of all ages using data from the Community Services Data Set (CSDS) reported in England for February 2026. It has been developed to help achieve better outcomes and provide data that will be used to commission services in a way that improves health, reduces inequalities, and supports service improvement and clinical quality.
These statistics are classified as experimental and should be used with caution. Experimental statistics are new official statistics undergoing evaluation. More information about experimental statistics can be found on the UK Statistics Authority website (linked at the bottom of this page).
A provisional data file for March 2026 is now included in this publication. Please note this is intended as an early view until providers submit a refresh of their data, which will be published next month.
