answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>Due to a number of systemic changes, including those made as a result of the Health and Social Care Act 2012, trust deficit figures within the National Health Service are not comparable with those in 2010. In seven of the last eight years the Department has lived within its total revenue budget – which covers the entire health and social care system. This is the key metric of financial performance for the NHS i.e. whether in aggregate the NHS over, or under-spent.</p><p> </p><p>Fewer trusts are in deficit and the size of those deficits are down compared to 2015-16. But problems in a minority of trusts do still exist, and tackling that challenge is key to the success of the NHS’s plan.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 01/11/2018 17:43:12 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>NHS Improvement publish a tariff uplift as part of its role as regulator; to use as the starting basis for which prices and contracts should be negotiated in the National Health Service. The construct includes a thorough assessment of pressures e.g. pay, drugs etc. and the scale of potential off-setting efficiencies. This process ensures a fair but challenging delivery requirement for the NHS. The calculation enabled sufficient funding for the majority of organisations to end 2017-18 in surplus. As part of the Long Term Plan, the tariff mechanism is being reviewed to ensure it remains fit for purpose.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 01/11/2018 17:44:06 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
