Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how the fair-share Transformation Fund for Greater Manchester was calculated.

NHS England has allocated £450 million to Greater Manchester, representing their fair share of available transformation budgets over the five year period.

The Greater Manchester share is calculated by applying Greater Manchester's total target Clinical Commissioning Group allocation as a percentage of the national amount to the relevant national policy and transformation funding. The Transformation Fund is being deployed in accordance with the priorities set out in the Greater Manchester Strategic Plan. A copy of the Plan is attached.
