Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the annual running costs were for NHS (a) Arden and GEM, (b) Midlands and Lancashire, (c) North of England and (d) South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit in the 2022-23 financial year.

The Department does not hold the information requested. Commissioning Support Units (CSUs) form part of one service provided to Clinical Commissioning Groups and integrated care boards by NHS England. CSUs are not separate legal entities, and spending forms part of NHS England’s parent accounts.
