Mental Health Services: Essex

Mr. Carswell
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much funding the North Essex Mental Health Partnership Trust received from (a) her Department and (b) local primary care trusts in each of the last five financial years.

Andy Burnham
National health service trusts do not normally receive funding from the Department, but receive income for the provision of services from commissioners, principally from primary care trusts (PCTS).

In 2001-02, the trust received most of its income from health authorities and primary care groups but did not receive income from PCTs.

The following table shows data for the years 2001-02 to 2005-06, which is the latest year for which information is available.

Prior to 2004-05, amounts shown may not be all of the income from the Department or from PCTs because not all income was analysed in this way.
