Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of the Success Regime in North, East and West Devon.

The Success Regime was launched in June 2015 and is aimed at providing challenge and support to some of the most challenged health and care economies in the country in order to improve the quality and sustainability of services offered to local people. It takes a whole systems-approach to help address long-standing, deep-rooted and systemic issues. The programme will oversee progress from diagnosis of the underlying issues through to implementation of solutions, and aims to build local leadership capacity in order to ensure that improvements made are maintained.

The allocations followed a business case process and were approved by NHS England. The information requested is shown in the following table:
