  1. Data presented are coefficients from ordinary least-squares interrupted time series regression models. Statistically significant coefficients in bold. As beds in protected housing facilities and psychiatric day hospital places were introduced after the 1993 national mental health plan (NMHP), data for pre-1993 NMHP trends and immediate 1993 NMHP effects are missing. A third intervention period (year 2007) introduced only for forensic psychiatric beds
