PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Mental Health Services: Stockport (13 May 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 16 April 2024 to Question 20454 on Mental Health Services: Stockport, what the average financial spend was per child and young person supported; and what the average number of contacts was per child and young person supported.

Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

Data from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 shows the average cost per contact is £333, and that then Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust received over 8,000 referrals, with a 96% acceptance rate. This is only for the children and young people’s mental health service provided by Pennine Care in Stockport. There may be other services and support, but to collate this would exceed the appropriate limit.
