The NHS England Board has agreed a pace of change policy that seeks to bring all CCGs to target funding over time.</p><p> </p><p>The formula is based on independent academic research and is overseen by an independent external group, the Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation, which provides advice to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and the Chief Executive of NHS England.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 22/07/2019 15:41:44 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
