<p>Public service mutuals are under no obligation to notify the Government’s Mutuals
Team, based in DCMS, when they are created or if they cease operating. There is therefore
no formal register of the number of public service mutuals. However our records show
that 119 public service mutuals have been created since May 2010. Of these, 110 continue
to be active. Nine no longer operate, with their services either no longer delivered,
or now delivered within the public sector or by another private sector organisation.</p><p>
</p><p>The government has committed £4 million between 2017-2020 to support the growth
and development of the mutuals sector.</p>
