Independent sector mental health hospitals in the UK rose to a staggering £1bn in 2008 according to health care market intelligence specialists Laing & Buisson's annual report on the sector.

Mental Health and Specialist Care Services UK Market Report 2009/10 shows it now makes up 25% of bed capacity across the public and independent sector.

However the report has found that expansion will level off in the medium term because of the credit crisis and recession as well as the downturn in NHS spending.
