Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the Answer of 9 February 2015, to Question 223061, when the review of the Carr-Hill funding formula was launched; who is a member of the review group for that formula; what the terms of reference are; and when that review is expected to reach its conclusion.

The review of the Carr-Hill formula was announced by NHS England in the Five Year Forward View, published in October 2014.

Work has started within NHS England, working closely with the Department, to agree the scope of the work and membership of the review group which will be published before the summer recess.
