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.

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

- CCG allocations 2015/16 – 2017/18

- 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.
