Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for which financial year will the updated Carr-Hill formula be applied from.

The review of the Carr-Hill formula will draw on a range of evidence and advice from experts. Decisions about implementation will need to be taken following consideration of the recommendations of the Carr-Hill review and cannot be pre-empted. Further detail on the review will be confirmed in due course.
