The number of public service mutuals in England has grown from approximately 9 at the beginning of 2010 to more than 100 today. Based on the information held by DCMS, the number created each year since 2009 is:

2009: 1

2010: 4

2011: 43

2012: 13

2013: 17

2014: 12

2015: 11

2016: 2

2017 (to date): 3


There is no obligation for new public service mutuals to inform DCMS that they have spun out, so these numbers reflect the extent of our knowledge of the sector.
