Comments:	The Collection Occasion Date should be distinguished from the actual date of completion of individual measures that are required at the specific occasion. In practice, the various measures may be completed by clinicians and consumers over several days. For example, at Review during ambulatory care, the client's case manager might complete the HoNOS and LSP during the clinical case review on the scheduled date, but in order to include their client's responses to the consumer self-report measure, they would most likely have asked the client to complete the measure at their last contact with them. For national reporting and statistical purposes, a single date is required which ties all the standardised measures and other data items together in a single Collection Occasion . The actual collection dates of the individual data items and standard measures may be collected locally but is not required in the national reporting extract.
