Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much income commissioning support units earned from clinical commissioning groups in 2013-14; and what proportion of that income related to support for clinical commissioning groups on putting NHS services out to tender.
During 2013-14 commissioning support units in England earned £602.1 million from clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). We do not collect information centrally on what proportion of income is used in relation to CCGs tendering activity.
