<p>The National Health Service bodies which commission private health treatment are
generally local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), and payment to providers would
normally be by patient treatment episode, and vary according to what treatment is
involved, and the specific arrangements between the CCG and provider. There are also
circumstances in which providers of NHS care may sub-contract the care they have been
commissioned to provide.</p><p> </p><p>In the financial year 2016/2017, 7.7% of total
NHS Revenue Expenditure was on private healthcare providers. This is the same percentage
as was commissioned in 2015/16.</p>
