How Much Does Treatment at CPFT at Ida Darwin Hospital Cost?
Care at Ida Darwin Hospital, including for patients detained under the Mental Health Act, is funded by the NHS rather than charged to patients or families.
A privately funded placement covering a similar range of mental health or learning disability care in the East of England would typically cost around £10,000 to £30,000 a month for residential mental health care, though this isn’t the usual route into an NHS hospital of this kind.
