Is Treatment at Lanchester Road Hospital Free?
Care at Lanchester Road Hospital is NHS-funded, delivered by Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys as part of publicly commissioned mental health, dementia and learning disability services, so there is no charge for treatment here. Patients and families are not billed directly for NHS-funded care.
A privately funded alternative for rehabilitation or dementia care would carry its own market pricing elsewhere, varying by provider and the level of support needed, so anyone exploring that should contact private services directly. The trust can confirm funding for a specific referral to Lanchester Road.
