Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) clinical commissioning groups and (b) NHS trusts in England are in deficit as at 12 July 2021; and what the figures are for each of those deficits.
Final data for clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and National Health Service trusts’ deficits for the financial year 2020-21 is not yet available but will be published in due course in their local accounts.
However, NHS England and NHS Improvement reported that they expect both CCGs and NHS providers to end 2020-21 with an aggregate surplus position across both sectors.
