This information is not held centrally.
NHS England allocates funding to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and specialised commissioning which commission services on behalf of their local populations. It is for CCGs and specialised commissioning to decide how best to use the funding allocated to them in line with local healthcare needs and priorities, working with other local commissioners and organisations.
