NHS England 18 December 2013
- NHS England has published the funding allocations that Clinical Commissioning Groups will receive over the next two years (2014/15 and 2015/16). The allocations use a new funding formula that will more accurately reflect population changes and include a specific deprivation measure.
- The NHS England Board considered seven options which outlined different ways of moving towards the new funding allocation over a period of time (‘pace of change’). Of the 7 options, NHS England agreed to Option 4 meaning all CCGs will receive a funding increase that will match inflation, with those most underfunded according to the new formula or with fast growing populations receiving up to 2.8% extra in their total allocations each year.
- The ACRA Fair Shares target position is detailed in the supporting note.
