	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2016 answer text <p>Responsibility for clinical commissioning group (CCG) allocations rests with NHS England and the funding allocated to all CCGs is based on the CCG allocations formula. This is based on advice provided by the Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation (ACRA). ACRA is an independent committee and reports jointly to the Secretary of State for Health (in regard to public health allocations) and NHS England in regard to CCG and primary care allocations. The formula was initially approved by NHS England in 2013 and they have now reviewed and updated the formula for 2016-17 onwards.</p><p> </p><p>The formula is based on the size of the population of each CCG and adjustments, or weights, per head for relative need for health care services and unavoidable costs between CCGs. The weights per head are based on the following:</p><p>― need due to age (typically, the more elderly the population, the higher the need per head, all else being equal);</p><p>― additional need over and above that due to age (this includes measures of health status and a number of proxies for health status such as deprivation);</p><p>― an adjustment for unmet need and health inequalities;</p><p>― unavoidable higher costs of delivering health care due to location alone, known as the Market Forces Factor (this reflects that staff, land and building costs are higher in for example London than other parts of the country); and</p><p>― an adjustment for the higher costs of providing emergency ambulance services in sparsely populated areas, and an adjustment for the higher costs of unavoidably small hospitals with 24 hour accident and emergency services in remote areas.</p><p> </p><p>The final step of the allocations process is to determine how quickly to move CCGs from their current allocation to the target allocation determined by the formula. The objective is to reduce the ‘distance from target’ so that areas furthest below their target allocation receive the biggest increases. This needs to balance against the need to ensure service stability for those areas above target, and that increases are not so large that resources are not used efficiently. The approach also takes account of the distance from target in each area for primary care and specialised services so that the overall funding position for the area is taken into account.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England recently published a technical guide to allocations which sets out all the individual factors used in determining the allocation levels. The guide is available here:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/2016/04/allocations-tech-guide-16-17/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/2016/04/allocations-tech-guide-16-17/#</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 18/04/2016 16:29:34 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2015 answer text <p>DECC publishes estimates for the levelised costs of electricity generation for different technologies. The most recent estimates are available in the DECC <em>Electricity Generation Costs (December 2013)</em> report, available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/269888/131217_Electricity_Generation_costs_report_December_2013_Final.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/269888/131217_Electricity_Generation_costs_report_December_2013_Final.pdf</a></p><p>The above levelised costs however do not take into account all of the wider positive or negative impacts that a power station may impose on the electricity system. So far, DECC’s electricity modelling has considered these wider whole system impacts through a system wide cost-benefit analysis.</p><p>To systematise DECC’s evidence base on whole system impacts and be able to present these impacts on a technology by technology basis, DECC has commissioned external research at the end of 2014. The project has three phases. Phase 1 aims to define and estimate the current impacts on the system from each technology type. Phase 2 aims to further develop DECC’s internal modelling capability to formally deal with the evolution of the whole system impacts over time and Phase 3 aims to undertake scenario analysis to assess whole system impacts of different technologies across different states of the world. The work on the project is currently still ongoing.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 22/09/2015 13:05:28 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

The RO closed to co-firing and conversions last year and any future support will be via CfD.</p><p> </p><p>The government announced it will hold three auctions for Contracts for Difference of up to £730 million this Parliament. Details of the future CFD allocation rounds will be published in due course.</p><p> </p><p>The Government confirmed increased funding for the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme in November 2015 as part of the Spending Review, with the annual budget rising from £430m in 2015/16 to £1.15bn in 2020/21.</p><p> </p><p>Getting new gas-fired stations built is a priority for Government and we are confident that the Capacity Market is the right mechanism to bring forward new capacity as older less efficient plants close. We have announced that we are going buy more capacity in December’s auction, tighten delivery incentives and bring forward the first capacity market delivery year to 2017/18. This should improve the chances of new gas (CCGTs, OCGTS and gas engines) capacity clearing in future auctions. Subject to a forthcoming consultation, closing unabated coal by 2025 will further strengthen investment signals for new gas. In addition, DECC is working with the planning inspectorate to arrange a workshop in June to explain how developers can use the pre-application project planning process to ensure applications for new gas plants are progressed as swiftly as possible.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 11/05/2016 10:58:21 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
