Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the running costs are for each of the academic health science networks.

The information requested is not available.

NHS England advise us that individual funding levels and programme costs vary between Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs). NHS England budget allocations are not their sole source of income and AHSNs are seeking to supplement this funding through participation in strategic investment programmes and match-funding initiatives. Core running cost are for AHSNs to determine independently and may also be subject to change through the year.

Further information on AHSN work programmes and business plans can be found on their websites:
