When reading our responses below, it might be helpful for you to understand that the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is a small specialist mental health Trust, and not a hospital.  We provide outpatient, and mainly psychological, services.  We do not provide acute services, nor inpatient patient services, and do not have an A&E department.

We do not record our data in a way that enables us to split out the different types of language services used as we have a single accounting code to record interpreting and translation, and as it is all coded and reported alike as a single expenditure type, we are unable to provide you with a breakdown of language service types..
