(asked on 16th June 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of running and administering the (a) West Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group and (b) East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group.
NHS England advises that the Final Annual Reports 2013-14 for the West Suffolk and Ipswich and East Suffolk clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) show the following spend on administration costs:

| Ipswich and East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group | West Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group

| £ million | £ million |
Net administration costs before financing |
7.3 |
5.2 |
From 2013-14, the running costs allowance for CCGs is expected to be £25 per head of population per annum. At this level, running costs allowances will be consistent with the requirement to reduce administration costs by one-third.
