Asked by:

On 15 September 2020, NHS England and NHS Improvement wrote to integrated care system and sustainability and transformation partnership leaders to confirm their individual system financial envelopes for the period October 2020 to March 2021. Each system will identify how to deploy the envelopes to the individual organisations in the system including National Health Service trusts. NHS England and NHS Improvement have provided detail at organisation level, which systems may wish to use as a starting point for their work, but all organisations are expected to work together to ensure resources are used to deliver maximum benefit for patients and value for taxpayers across the system as a whole.
