Information on expenditure on external providers

The total annual amount spent by your institution on external providers (both private and other NHS) for patient treatment and care in the last year, or most recent accounting year you have data for;

• The total annual amount spent broken down by provider

• The total annual spent broken down by specialty

If there are still resources left to fulfill this request, then please provide the same information every year for the last three years. To clarify, when I refer to external providers I only mean those providers who are directly involved in the treatment of patients
