Primary Care Trusts: Psychiatric Care
House of Lords
Written answers and statements, 19 December 2005

Lord Stratford (Labour)
asked Her Majesty's Government:
How many primary care trusts place psychiatric care patients in private care facilities.

Lord Warner (Minister of State, Department of Health; Labour)
This information is not collected centrally by the Department of Health. Primary care trusts can commission services from other National Health Service trusts, independent providers or provide services themselves to meet the healthcare needs of their populations.
