November 2006 Hospital Mental Health Services in Canada, 2003-2004 The information and analyses in the report are focused on inpatient hospital separations (discharges or deaths), which are one part of a broader spectrum of mental health services. The level of use of hospital mental health services, defined in terms of separations, was very similar in 2003-2004 to the preceding fiscal year. However a longer-term perspective indicates a decline. Canadian hospitals reported 192,562 separations for mental illness in 2003-2004. This represents an age-standardized rate of separation (586 per 100,000 population), which is very similar . . .
