While there aren't many statistics on this sort of sentencing, I did find some here: https://forum.mentalhealthlaw.co.uk/t/section-37-41-data-spe...

And based on the following:

> The number of admissions has fluctuated between 1,500 and 1,700 since 2008.

And

> The number of discharges and disposals has fluctuated between 1,350 and 1,550 since 2011

One can extrapolate that up to a couple hundred new admissions each year are staying in essentially indefinitely, as the discharge rate is generally always lower than the admissions rate.
