The move will directly result in the loss of approximately 30 posts currently based at Hermitage, mostly in the support roles. MoD will work to minimise the impact on those affected by providing all the help that it can, relocating personnel and avoiding compulsory redundancies where possible.
NHS: Primary Care Trust Finances
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Lord Darzi of Denham): My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Health (Alan Johnson) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.
I am pleased to announce today the 2008-09 revenue allocations for primary care trusts (PCTs) and the NHS operating framework for 2008-09.
All primary care trusts will receive a cash increase of 5.5 per cent, a total cash increase of £3.8 billion, bringing the total revenue allocations to £74 billion. In addition, £1.7 billion of non-recurrent budgets are being issued, meaning that 82 per cent of the total NHS revenue budget will be issued direct to primary care trusts compared to 72 per cent in 1996-97. Overall, we have trebled investment in the NHS from £35 billion to £110 billion by 2010-11.
I am keen to continue to raise the transparency and accountability of the NHS and, consequently, I have written individually to all honourable Members in England detailing their relevant PCT allocations for 2008-09 and I have noted how their current allocations compare to those for 2007-08. I have also included with this Written Statement a table detailing 2008-09 PCT allocations.
As I announced on 22 November, the revenue allocations will be for 2008-09 only, as the Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation (ACRA) has asked for additional time to finish its review of the current resource allocation formula. ACRA will complete its work shortly and we intend to announce allocations for 2009-10 and 2010-11 by summer 2008.
As the House will recognise, the NHS has made substantial progress over the past 10 years of investment and reform. Patients wait no more than four hours in accident and emergency, the health service has more doctors and nurses than ever before and we have witnessed the largest hospital building programme since the NHS was founded.
13 Dec 2007 : Column WS57
As the NHS enters its 60th year, we must continue to drive forward with ever greater determination, and so for the year ahead the NHS has five principal priorities:
first, improving standards of cleanliness and tackling healthcare-associated infections;secondly, improving access to care through the achievement of the 18-week referral-to-treatment pledge and improving access to GP services, including at evenings and weekends;thirdly, ensuring that adults and children are well, improving their health and reducing inequalities, by focusing on improving care for cancer and stroke and paying particular attention to children’s health, particularly in the most deprived areas of the country;fourthly, improving patient experience, staff satisfaction and engagement; andfifthly, preparing to respond in a state of emergency, such as an outbreak of pandemic influenza.
In addition to the national priorities, PCTs need to continue to improve at understanding the particular needs of their local populations and to take concrete steps to address them. In order to meet their own local needs, PCTs will need to work in step with local government through local area agreements that focus on improving health and well-being.
Local priorities will build on evidence about current PCT performance and regional variation and they will plan for the future by incorporating work being done in local service reviews. Whether it is reducing mixed-sex accommodation, personalising services for patients with learning disabilities or responding to the Healthcare Commission’s recommendations, local services need to respond to local needs.
Over the past 18 months, the NHS has continued to drive up the quality of care delivered to patients. This has been made possible by two significant achievements: bringing the NHS to financial balance and going on to deliver a surplus; and embedding patient choice, practice-based commissioning, payment by results and foundation trusts, which all lead to better patient care.
In order to support this year's NHS operating framework, we must continue to develop the necessary structures and leadership in order to enable world-class commissioning.
The NHS must meet the needs of its patients and their families, the expectations of the public and the aspirations of its staff. At all times, the NHS must be safe, effective, personalised and fair. The more responsive and personalised the NHS gets, the better the care it will provide and the more confidence the health service will inspire.
