PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Clinical Commissioning Groups: Finance (23 June 2017)

Question Asked

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.

Asked by:
Rachael Maskell (Labour)

Answer

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.
