Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what amount of revenue funding allocated to the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for 2017-2018 under the Cheshire and Merseyside STP process has been paid.

Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships do not allocate revenue or funding; this is done at an organisational level, and all organisations are responsible for managing their own budget.

The local, statutory architecture for health and care remains, as do the existing accountabilities for Chief Executives of provider organisations and Accountable Officers of clinical commissioning groups.
