Barry Sheerman – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Barry Sheerman on 2014-05-02.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will provide a breakdown of the transition costs in NHS England’s January finance report.
Dr Daniel Poulter
NHS England’s Financial Performance Report, which was included in the papers for its January Board meeting, gave a planned reserves/transition costs spend for 2013-14 of £110,600,000 in a table showing running costs at November 2013. NHS England has provided a breakdown shown in the following table.
|
Transition – Estates Void Costs |
£35,000,000 |
|
Transition – Primary Care Services Restructuring |
£35,000,000 |
|
Corporate Reserves and Contingency |
£40,600,000 |
|
Total |
£110,600,000 |
The forecast figure of £91,000,000 for reserves/transition costs shown in the report was arrived at due to an anticipated underspend against the Primary Care Services Restructuring budget, based on forecast information from business plans for the project.
