Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much funding from the public purse for children's health services, as a proportion of total health services funding, is now commissioned from non-NHS providers; and how that funding is divided between (a) for profit and (b) social enterprise providers.

This information is not held centrally.

NHS England does not break the non-National Health Service spend down into categories that includes children’s services. The breakdown is, for example, acute, community which would include children’s services within the total.
