icb: 7

For each ICB, the total direct spending on private companies, the total spending, direct spending as a percentage of total spending; and (currently only for Cheshire & Merseyside, North East London, and South East London) the spending by Trusts and Foundation Trusts within the ICB on private companies, and the resulting percentage from direct and indirect spending by the ICB on private companies. The latter combined 'Private_Percent' is only a crude estimate, as ICBs also fund Trusts outside their area, and Trusts also receive some non-ICB funding.
