(asked on 23rd June 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the national funding formula for clinical commissioning groups.
This question was answered on 28th June 2017
NHS England is responsible for the national funding formula for clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). NHS England makes allocations to CCGs, informed by advice from the independent external Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation. NHS England is mandated by Government to allocate resources on the basis of need and without destabilising local health economies. The process has been subject to external scrutiny via the National Audit Office.
