Cygnet Health Care

Cygnet Health Care is a commercial provider of mental health services which operates 21 centres with more than 1,000 beds across the UK. The company headquarters is in Sevenoaks, Kent. It is a subsidiary of Universal Health Services, acquired for £205 million in 2014.

Some of the company's clients pay privately, but most are funded by the NHS buying extra capacity. In 2013/4 Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust spent £1.2 million with the company.

In 2011 the company was warned by the Care Quality Commission about staffing levels at Cygnet Wing Blackheath. Improvements were still required at the CQC inspection in April 2014.

In 2013 the Care Quality Commission issued a warning in respect of Cygnet Hospital Bierley because the service was failing to ensure that appropriate records were kept.

In December 2016 it bought the adult services business of Cambian Group PLC in a deal worth £377 million.
