Dewi Jones Unit Mental Health Treatment Services
This ward is dedicated to inpatient mental health care for children and young people specifically, run by one of the UK’s best-known children’s NHS trusts.
Because Alder Hey’s reputation is built on paediatric care more broadly, the Dewi Jones Unit benefits from being part of a trust with deep experience in treating under-18s, even though this particular ward’s rating sits within the trust’s wider reports rather than standing alone.

How Much Does Treatment at Dewi Jones Unit Cost?
As an NHS CAMHS ward, care at the Dewi Jones Unit is funded through the NHS rather than charged to families, including for young people admitted under the Mental Health Act.
A private equivalent for a child or young person’s inpatient mental health care would typically be priced in the region of £10,000 to £30,000 a month for the North West, though this isn’t the usual route into an NHS unit like this one.
