<p>NHS England is responsible for decisions on the weighted capitation formula used
to allocate resources between clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). This process is
independent of Government. NHS England take advice from the Advisory Committee on
Resource Allocation, a group of academics and other experts.</p><p> </p><p>Over the
next five years, NHS England will use the health inequalities adjustments to the national
funding formula to target additional funds at areas with high health inequalities.
In exchange, those CCGs in receipt of additional health inequalities funding – and
the sustainability and transformation partnerships and integrated care systems of
which they are a part – will for the first time be required to set out transparently
how this extra funding is being targeted to improve equity of access and outcomes
for inclusion health groups and underserved communities. Furthermore, all local health
systems will be expected to set out during 2019 how they will specifically reduce
health inequalities by 2023-24 and then by 2028.</p>
