Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what progress he has made on reform of the NHS funding formula to clinical commissioning groups.

NHS England has responsibility for determining allocations to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). The Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation, an independent advisory group, is undertaking a full review of the formula used to determine allocations for individual CCGs. The review is nearing completion and we expect their recommendations to be presented at the NHS England Board meeting in December
