Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much capital funding has been allocated to Somerset NHS Foundation Trust since 2019.
Somerset NHS Foundation Trust was formed in April 2020 from a merger between Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. The following table shows what the trust has been allocated with the following capital from national programmes since the 2019/20 financial year.
2019/20 | 2020/21 | 2021/22 | 2022/23 | 2023/24 | 2024/25 |
£120,000 | £27,200,000 | £35,900,000 | £19,400,000 | £23,400,000 | £25,500,000 |
Note: These allocations are correct as of 23 February 2023 but future allocations are subject to change. It is also worth noting that these allocations will differ from actual expenditure.
In addition to national programmes, Somerset Integrated Care Board, of which Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is a partner trust, was allocated £90 million in operational capital for the SR21 period 2021/22 to 2024/25.
Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has been allocated approximately £70 million within their operational capital envelope for the past three financial years, 2020/21 to 2022/23.
2020/21 | 2021/22 | 2022/23 |
£22,300,000 | £24,500,000 | £23,600,000 |
