Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the total expenditure on the Clinical Excellence Awards was in 2015-16; and what the value was of such awards by (a) Employer Based Awards Committees and (b) the Advisory Committee on Clinical Excellence Awards.
In 2015/16, expenditure on new and renewal awards payments issued by the Advisory Committee on Clinical Excellence Awards (which administers national Clinical Excellence Awards in England and Wales) was just over £157 million including on costs. Payments were made to 2,948 consultants. Scotland and Northern Ireland are responsible for their own schemes.
The value of individual national awards in England and Wales for 2015/16 was £35,484 for Bronze, £46,644 for Silver, £58,305 for Gold and £75,796 for Platinum. This excludes on-costs.
