The number of individual patients aged under 18 cannot be provided, only the number of unplanned accident and emergency (A&E) attendances for patients aged under 18 with a primary diagnosis in A&E of ‘35 – Psychiatric Condition’.
Information can only be provided on the distance between a patient’s postcode and the A&E where they presented and not the hospital where the patient was subsequently admitted from A&E.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the proportion of the revenue resources specified in the NHS Funding Bill that will be allocated to mental health services for each year of the settlement.
Answered by Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
This NHS Funding Bill enshrines in law the biggest cash boost in National Health Service history, ensuring the NHS will get an extra £33.9 billion a year by 2023/24. The Bill does not limit the amount of funding we can put in the NHS, but instead sets that the budget must be “at least” what we have committed to.
The NHS Long Term Plan sets out that mental health will receive a growing share of the NHS budget, worth in real terms at least a further £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24.
Tables showing how NHS funding and mental health funding will increase year-on-year to 2023/24 are attached, due to the size of the data.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how much capital money will be allocated for the (1) rebuilding, and (2) refurbishment, of North Manchester General Hospital in each of the next five years.
Answered by Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
On Sunday 29 September, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care announced the next stage in our strategic investment in the National Health Service, with the Health Infrastructure Plan (HIP) to ensure that our health infrastructure is fit-for-purpose for decades to come. The Prime Minister set out on Wednesday 2 October his plan that “in the next ten years we will build 40 new hospitals in the biggest investment in hospital infrastructure for a generation.” As a step towards this, we have committed funding for six new hospitals as well as seed funding to support the initial stage of a further 34 building projects.
North Manchester General Hospital scheme is one of the projects that are green-lighted to proceed to the next level of their development plan. A total pot of £100 million of seed money is being made available to help kick start the next stage of developing these plans. All schemes however will need to present a clear investment case to move onto the next stage, and funding will be subject to future spending reviews. Other projects will be able to bid into this and other future waves too.
