Clinical Commissioning Groups
(asked on 17th December 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answers of 16 December 2015 to Question 19441 and 20 November 2015 to Question 16648, what the reason is for the apparent difference in the data collection policies on local clinical commissioning groups' spend with independent sector providers described in those Answers.

This report divides providers by type (i.e. independent sector providers, voluntary organisations) – it does not specify the different types of services provided.
