Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how his Department plans to allocate funding to Integrated Care Systems; and whether he plans to introduce a new funding formula to support that allocation.

Through NHS England, future allocations to integrated care boards (ICBs) will be based on supporting equal opportunity of access, contributing to the reduction of health inequalities and how quickly ICBs can move towards their target allocations.

Our approach will continue to be informed by the independent Advisory Committee on Resource Allocations and the established clinical commissioning group allocation formula.
