Dear Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust,

Please provide the following information in full for the years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. (Please note that I use the term 'borderline personality disorder' but would also like stats for 'emotionally unstable personality disorder' if that is the diagnostic term your trust uses.)

1. Please provide your trust policy for borderline personality disorder diagnosis and treatment.

2. How much funding is received for the care of borderline personality disorder and how is this money spent?

3. How many adult patients are there within the trust with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder?

4. What specialist treatments or therapeutic interventions do the trust facilitate for all patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder?

5. How much does it cost the trust per year to provide medication to adults diagnosed with borderline personality disorder?

6. How many patients/service users with borderline personality disorder require in-patient care and what is the cost of this?

7. Does the trust provide dialectical behaviour therapy? If so, please provide the numbers of patients/service users who have used this service. If not, is there a plan to implement this treatment?

9. How many suicides of patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder have there been each year?

Yours faithfully,
