Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many new licences Monitor has granted to a non-NHS provider in each year since 2010.
This question was answered on 25th March 2015
The Health and Social Care Act 2012 requires independent providers to hold a licence from 1 April 2014. Therefore, no licences were issued before that date.
In 2014, Monitor issued 102 licences to independent providers. In 2015 to date, five licences have been issued.
