Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proportion of (a) total and (b) per capita spending on (i) health and (ii) mental health in England was spent in Sandwell in the last 12 months; and where Sandwell is ranked in England for such spending.

General clinical commissioning group (CCG) spend on health is published by NHS England in its quarterly Financial Performance Report. Spend per head is not available, and CCGs are not ranked on spend per head. Total spend by NHS Sandwell and West Birmingham CCG can be found on page 12 of the Q4 2016-17 report, which can be accessed via the link below:

It should be noted that CCG spend does not cover all health spend; it excludes directly commissioned primary care, specialised commissioning and other services directly commissioned by NHS England.

The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health Dashboard publishes mental health expenditure figures quarterly. It does not include spend per capita. NHS Sandwell and West Birmingham CCG detail and totals for Q4 2016-17, which are the most recent published figures, can be accessed via the link below:
