Primary Care Trusts: Finance Mr. Lansley To ask the Secretary of State for Health to what proportion of primary care trust revenue allocations for the 2009-10 financial year the health inequalities formula has been applied, with the meaning described on page 28 of his Department’s Report of the Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation published 8 December 2008. Mr. Bradshaw One Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation (ACRA) objective is to help to reduce avoidable health inequalities through resource allocation. To achieve this objective, a separate health inequalities formula has been developed which targets funds at the places with the worst health outcomes. This is a more transparent way of contributing towards the reduction in health inequalities through resource allocation, and highlights our commitment to tackling the issue of health inequality. ACRA could not determine the proportion of allocations to apply the health inequalities formula to and left it to ministerial decision. Ministers decided to apply the formula to 15 per cent. of the allocations, excluding the mental health component of the formula (which already includes an adjustment for unmet need) and HIV/AIDS. This keeps the distribution of funding between the most and least deprived areas in line with the previous formula. Mr. Lansley To ask the Secretary of State for Health what variables are included in the weighted capitation formula used to inform primary care trust revenue allocation for 2009-10; and what the data sources are for each. Mr. Bradshaw The variables included in the weighted capitation formula for 2009-10 primary care trust revenue allocations and their data sources are set out in the Department’s publication Resource Allocation: Weighted Capitation Formula (Sixth Edition), which has been placed in the Library, and which is also available at: www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/DH_091849. Mr. Lansley To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the weighted capitation targets per (a) unweighted and (b) weighted head are for (i) 2008-09 and (ii) 2009-10 (A) for England on average and (B) for each primary care trust. Mr. Bradshaw The information is provided in the table for 2009-10. Weighted capitation targets were not calculated for 2008-09 because the formula which determines them was frozen while the Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation were granted more time to conclude their review. ----------------------------------------- |£ | ----------------------------------------- |PCT |Weighted capitation target per unweighted head|Weighted capitation target per weighted

|1,540|1,540| ----------------------------------------- Mr. Lansley To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the written ministerial statement of 8 December 2008, Official Report, columns 30-8WS, on primary care trust revenue allocations/NHS operating framework, what assessment he has made of the pace of change policy relating to the new resource allocation formula; and in what year he expects primary care trusts will receive an actual revenue allocation equivalent to the target revenue allocation determined by the weighted capitation formula. Mr. Bradshaw Pace of change policy for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 revenue allocations ensures stability of funding for primary care trusts (PCTs), and allows them to make progress nationally and in local priority areas: no PCT will receive less than an average of 5.2 per cent. per year over two years; under target PCTs will receive average growth (5.5 per cent.) per year, or above; and by the end of 2010-11, no PCT will be more than 6.2 per cent. below its fair share of available resources. We are committed to bringing PCTs to their target allocations as soon as is practicable. However, this has to be consistent with all PCTs receiving sufficient extra funding to enable them to deliver on national and local priorities. Pace of change policy for the next round of allocations will be considered in the light of the overall resources available for the NHS.
