3.  NHS RESOURCES AND ACTIVITY

  3.3  Hospital and Community Health Services Allocations and Distance from Targets

  3.3.1  Could the Department please update the information provided in response to last year's questionnaire on expenditure covering HCHS and FHS for each SHA area together with estimates of distances from target needs based expenditure?

  1.  The information requested is provided in Table 3.3.1.

  2.  Table 3.3.1 aggregates 2003-04 to 2005-06 PCT allocations and distances from target at SHA level. These unified allocations cover hospital and community health services (HCHS), prescribing (the drugs bill), general medical services discretionary (general practice infrastucture) and HIV/AIDS.

  3.  For 2003-04 to 2005-06 the weighted capitation formula which informs resource allocation also has a general medical services non-discretionary component. This allows the cash limited unified allocations to take account of the distribution of GMS non- discretionary expenditure.

  4.  GMS non-cash limited baselines and targets are added to unified allocations baselines and targets to form composite baselines and targets. Composite distances from target are derived to inform the allocation of the extra resources for unified allocations. This is not used to allocate GMS non-discretionary funding which remains non-cash limited.

  5.  The Department does not make allocations for FHS non-discretionary expenditure. This expenditure is non-cash limited and PCTs draw down funding from the Department as required to meet their expenditure. Apart from the GMS non-discretionary formula referred to above there are no formulas to calculate target shares of FHS non-discretionary expenditure.
