<p>Providers are not funded directly by the Department. The majority of the Department’s
funding is allocated to NHS England, primarily for the commissioning of healthcare
services from a range of primary and secondary care providers. National Health Service
providers (including NHS trusts and foundation trusts) fund their spending via income
received from NHS commissioners in return for the provision of healthcare services
to their local population.</p><p> </p><p>Income levels at individual hospitals are
not separately reported but consolidated into NHS trust accounts. The Princess Alexandra
Hospital NHS Trust comprises three hospitals: Princess Alexandra Hospital, St. Margaret's
Hospital and Herts and Essex Hospital. Details of income received by this trust can
be found in their published accounts, with the latest accounts available via this
link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.pah.nhs.uk/article/972/Trust-Documents" target="_blank">https://www.pah.nhs.uk/article/972/Trust-Documents</a></p><p>
