Dementia: Gloucestershire

Volume 506: debated on Tuesday 2 March 2010

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what financial support was allocated by Gloucestershire Primary Care Trust for (a) the treatment of and (b) research related to dementia in each of the last five years. (318900)

The information is not available in the format requested. The Department allocated £150 million to the national health service over 2009-10 and 2010-11 to transform services for people with dementia. However, the Department does not break down primary care trust (PCT) revenue allocations by policies, at either the national or local level. Such information as is available about revenue allocations to PCTs in Gloucestershire is shown in the following table.

It is for PCTs to decide their priorities for investment locally taking into account both local priorities and the ‘NHS Operating Framework’.
