Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

The highest funded CCG, when looking at how far it is from its target allocation, is NHS West London (Kensington & Chelsea and Queen’s Park & Paddington) CCG who has received an allocation of £353.5 million for 2016-17 and is 30.51% over its target allocation. In line with the pace-of-change policy, NHS West London CCG received an uplift of 1.39% in 2016-17.
