To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much was spent on infrastructure related to mental health services in (a) York Central constituency and (b) England in each of the last five years; and what such investment is planned in the current year.

Funding for mental health services is not allocated per constituency.

The estimated expenditure on mental health services by primary care trusts (PCTs) in England between 2008/09 and 2012/13 is set out in the following table:

Estimated expenditure on Mental Health, all PCTs

Financial Year	Expenditure £ billion

2010/11	10.96
2011/12	11.16

Total National Health Service spending on mental health services in 2013/14 was estimated at around £11.4 billion and planned spend for 2014/15 was estimated at around £11.7 billion.

The Department does not hold information on all spending on health infrastructure for the York Central constituency. However, we have been informed by NHS England that the Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group has recently invested £2.9 million to redevelop Bootham Park Hospital which will see improvements to Cherry Tree House Unit.
