Coronavirus: Vaccination
Monday 13th December 2021

Asked by: Karen Buck (Labour - Westminster North)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what timeframe his Department has in place for issuing digital Covid recovery certificates; how many people were waiting for those certificates at 28 October 2021, what estimate his Department has made of the average time taken to issue certificates; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Maggie Throup

The digital NHS COVID Pass for travel and use in England based on recovery is already available and can be accessed via the NHS App and NHS.UK. The digital Pass can be obtained following a positive National Health Service polymerase chain reaction result within the last 180 days and completion of the 10 day self-isolation period. NHS Test and Trace test results are generally available to individuals the next day or up to three days. The information requested on average waiting times for recovery passes is not held centrally. Recovery data should be available to the NHS COVID Pass service before the end of the self-isolation period, with 80% of recorded results available within two hours. Private tests are not currently included in the NHS COVID Pass.


Written Question
Clinical Commissioning Groups
Thursday 17th May 2018

Asked by: Karen Buck (Labour - Westminster North)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will rank English clinical commissioning groups by the proportion difference between their actual and target allocations.

Answered by Steve Barclay - Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

NHS England is responsible for determining allocations of financial resources to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). Total annual budgets given to CCGs cover the majority of NHS spending. NHS England has published sources of information on CCG allocations for the years 2013/2014 onwards. However, information in relation to 2012/13 is not available as CCGs were not formed until 2013.

Information on the cash allocation to each clinical commissioning group since 2013/14 is shown in the following links:

- CCG allocations 2013/14 to 2014/15


https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/ccg-allocation-big-table-v2.pdf

- CCG allocations 2015/16 – 2017/18


https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ccg-allocations.pdf

- Revised CCG allocations 2018-19

https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/revised-ccg-allocations-2018-19/

The proportionate differences between CCG programme allocations and their target allocations are available in ‘Revised CCG Allocations for 2018-19’, on column 13 of the table which is available at the following link:

www.england.nhs.uk/publication/revised-CCG-allocations-2018-19/

It should be noted that these figures do not include allocations for primary medical care or specialised services. The figures are as published, and may not reflect any adjustments that have occurred since the time of publication. Further, allocations for 2017/18 are not comparable with those of earlier years as a number of changes have been made to CCG baselines.

NHS England has advised that information relating to proportionate changes in the real term CCG allocations per capita since 2012/13 is not available in the format requested.
