National Audit Office, 11 September 2014
- There is wide variation in the extent to which the funding received by local commissioners differs from their target allocations, which are based on relative need. In 2014-15, over three-quarters of local authorities, and nearly two-fifths of clinical commissioning groups, are more than five percentage points above or below their fair share of funding per person. Funding for clinical commissioning groups varies from £137 per person below target to £361 per person above target.
- This report examines how the Department and NHS England allocate funds to the local commissioners of healthcare and compares the three approaches in place now and also compared them with the approach previously used for primary care trusts.
