Information on spend on mental health provision for children and young people aged 0-25, by clinical commissioning group (CCG), is published by NHS England in the Mental Health Five Year Forward View Dashboard.

NHS England also publishes spend on specialised commissioning on mental health provision for children and young people.

For 2018/19, the latest figures show planned expenditure by CCGs of £727 million and for specialised commissioning planned expenditure of £376 million.

These figures do not distinguish between those aged under the age of 18 and those aged 18 years to 25 years old.
