Dear Sir or Madam,

This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Please can you provide me with:

The total spent on private in-patient mental health beds broken down by provider for the financial years 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24
For each of the providers in (1) please list the name of the hospital or clinic used.

If you feel that a substantive response to this request is not possible within a reasonable time frame, or the request is too broad, I would be grateful if you could contact me by email on [email address], and provide assistance as to how I could refine the request.

Thank you,
