Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust: Finance

Volume 506: debated on Friday 26 February 2010

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received from the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on the level of their funding for 2010-11; and if he will make a statement. (319253)

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health has received no representations from the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on the level of their funding for 2010-11.

The Department does not make revenue allocations directly to foundation trusts. It is for primary care trusts to use the funding allocated to them to commission services from foundation trusts and other providers to meet the needs of their local populations.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much funding has been provided to the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in each of the last five years; what the planned funding is for the next three years; and if he will make a statement. (319254)

The information requested is not collected centrally.

The Department does not make revenue allocations directly to foundation trusts. It is for primary care trusts (PCTs) to use the funding allocated to them to commission services from foundation trusts and other providers to meet the needs of their local populations.

PCTs have been informed of their revenue allocations up to 2010-11. The allocations to PCTs in Gloucestershire from 2004-05 are shown in the following table.

PCTs allocations for 2011-12 onwards are yet to be determined. However, as announced in the pre-Budget report in December 2009, front-line national health service spending will be protected for the following two years to 2012-13.
