question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 9 January 2024 to Question 7731 on Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board: Dental Services, what the impact of IFRS16 was on the capital departmental expenditure limit (CDEL) for the NHS; and of that how much was (a) to compensate for impacts on primary care provision and (b) allocated to Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire Integrated Care Board.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2024 answer text <p>The additional capital departmental expenditure limit (CDEL) allocation for IFRS 16 in the 2022/23 budget was £1.2 billion. Of that, £24 million was directly linked to NHS England’s budget line, which covers the elements of primary care estate leased by integrated care boards, a relatively small proportion of the overall primary care estate.</p><p>All National Health Service organisations provided IFRS 16 estimates to determine the amount of additional CDEL required for IFRS 16, thus ensuring a fair allocation in accordance with HM Treasury’s guidance during the implementation of the new accounting standard. NHS England then provided allocations to integrated care boards, enabling them to fund primary care leases and corporate buildings. For the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board, the IFRS 16 CDEL allocation was £785,000 in 2022/23.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 07/02/2024 13:03:02 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson previous answer version 16012 answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an estimate of the amount of ringfenced NHS dental funding that Integrated Care Boards have released to non-dentistry budgets to cover costs associated with strike action in the NHS in (a) 2023 and (b) 2024.

uin	9204
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2024 answer text <p>NHS England provided guidance for integrated care boards (ICBs) that requires dental allocations to be ringfenced in 2023/24, with any unused resources re-directed to improve National Health Service dental access in the first instance and not spent on other services. In November 2023, NHS England confirmed that where ICBs had not spent all of their allocation on improving access to dentistry, they would be able to retain any underspend and use this to balance their bottom line and any other pressures. ICBs will decide how to use any forecast underspend in line with this guidance. We are currently considering arrangements for 2024/25.</p><p>There are no current estimates of how much dental ringfence NHS dental funding has been used to support costs associated with strike action. NHS England has issued additional funding to systems of £800 million so far in this financial year to directly cover the costs of strikes.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 19/01/2024 14:41:23 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
