From 1 December 2010, the collection of monthly mixed sex accommodation (MSA) breaches was introduced. NHS organisations submit data on the number of occurrences of unjustified mixing in relation to sleeping accommodation. The collection enables the analysis and publication of consistently defined data to allow patients and members of the public to understand the extent to which mixed sex accommodation is occurring at individual organisations.
