    Luciana Berger – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Luciana Berger on 2016-01-14.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 14 January 2016 to Question 21922, which organisations other than CCGs have been allocated funding from the £173 million that has been allocated; and how much of that amount he estimates will be spent in 2015-16.

    Alistair Burt

    Out of the £173 million, £105 million has gone to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) directly.

    The remaining £68 million has been allocated to the below organisations to be spent centrally on workforce and system development. These are approximations to the nearest million:

    – £58 million allocated to NHS England;

    – £9 million allocated to Health Education England; and

    – £1 million allocated to the Department of Health.

    The Government are taking a targeted and phased approach to ensuring the funding allocated to workforce and system development is spent effectively and plans are in place for this money to be spent.

    The figure of how much of the £75 million allocated to CCGs to improve local services has been spent is not available. NHS England is currently collecting monthly financial information regarding the amount of spend on child and adolescent mental health services. This is being validated during January and will be made available later in the year.
