Notes:

These figures include clinical commissioning group (CCG) spending on mental health and specialised commissioning spending.

Comparable figures for 2012-13 are not available as primary care trust disaggregation in 2012/13 meant that some areas of mental health commissioning, e.g. substance misuse, transferred to local authorities. This restructuring means it is difficult to compare spending figures across the whole period.
