Sid Watkins Building Mental Health Treatment Services

How Much Does Treatment at Sid Watkins Building Cost?
Care at the Sid Watkins Building, including under the Mental Health Act, is funded by the NHS rather than charged to patients or families.
Given the specialist nature of brain injury rehabilitation, a privately funded equivalent would be priced individually rather than matching a standard mental health treatment range; Mersey Care can clarify funding for a specific referral.
