Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the annual costs of the new central institutions established under the Health and Social Care Act 2012.
Answered by Dan Poulter
Two new central institutions were established under the Health and Social Care Act 2012: Public Health England (PHE) and the National Health Service Commissioning Board. In addition, the reforms associated with the Act led to the establishment of Health Education England (HEE) and the National Health Service Trust Development Authority.
Administration costs across the health system in 2014-15 are a third lower than in 2010-11. The reforms as a result of the Health and Social Care Act have delivered annual savings in excess of £1.5 billion.
The annual administration cost of these organisations is set out in Table 1.
ADMINISTRATION COSTS | 2012-13 | 2013-14 | 2014-15 |
| Annual costs | Budget |
| £ million | £ million | £ million |
NHS Commissioning Board (excluding clinical commissioning groups) | 43.40 | 663.00 | 466.00 |
Public Health England | | 138.70 | 127.60 |
Health Education England | 2.69 | 80.31 | 81.90 |
NHS Trust Development Authority | 2.40 | 27.19 | 31.88 |
Total | 48.49 | 909.20 | 707.38 |
Full costs associated with these organisations are published in their Statutory Accounts.
