Revenue Allocations

Volume 454: debated on Wednesday 13 December 2006

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the revenue allocations per unweighted head would be to each primary care trust in England in 2006-07 if additional need was given (a) zero-weighting and (b) half its current weighting in the hospital and community health services component of the weighted capitation formula. (106123)

The information for each primary care trust (PCT) their 2006-07 weighted capitation targets per unweighted head with 100 per cent. weighted,50 per cent. weighted and 0 per cent. weighted additional need in the hospital and community health services (HCHS) component of the weighted capitation formula has been placed in the Library.

It is impossible to say with certainty what the equivalent 2006-07 revenue allocations would have been with different formulas. Actual allocations are determined by a pace of change policy which is based on a judgement about the appropriate level of increase for all PCTs and the level of increase for under target PCTs to move them closer to their weighted capitation target. A different pace of change policy may have been applied with a different set of distances from targets.
