definition
Many NHS hospitals have private wards where private patients may use the accommodation and services of the hospital provider. Some hospitals also provide amenity beds, usually located in small side wards for which a charge is made for the accommodation. Both of these categories of patient are defined by the NHS Act of 1977. Any categories of patient, whether NHS, private or amenity patients, can be formally detained under the provisions of the Mental Health Act 1983 and other legislation. Most patients in NHS hospitals or hospital units will come under category 10 (see below). Access to this field requires the approval of Data Access Advisory Group (DAAG).
