	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2015 answer text <p>NHS England does not split the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) programme allocation across service categories. CCGs receive an annual allocation calculated by reference to the size of population they commission for, and it is up to the CCG to decide how to spend it, taking into account national policy considerations and a local assessment of need.</p><p>CCGs are required to submit their spending plans and their annual accounts to NHS England. NHS England reviews spending, including for mental health (MH), through the CCG assurance process.</p><p>NHS England has made a requirement of clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in the planning guidance for 2015/16, The Forward View Into Action: Planning Guidance for 2015/16, that each CCG’s spending on MH services in 2015/16 should increase in real terms, and grow by at least as much as each CCG’s overall funding allocation increase.</p><p>CCG actual and planned spend (not funding) can be split between MH and other categories of expenditure. The table below shows CCG MH spend for Liverpool CCG, for Merseyside CCGs and nationally for all CCGs. These figures are actual spend for 2013/14 and 2014/15 and planned spend for 2015/16:</p><table><tbody><tr><td></td><td><p>2013/14<br>Outturn <br>£k</p></td><td>2014/15<br>Outturn<br>£k</td><td>2015/16<br>Outturn<br>£k</td></tr><tr><td><p>Liverpool CCG Total</p></td><td><p>76,335</p></td><td><p>85,500</p></td><td><p>89,609</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Merseyside CCGTotal</p></td><td><p>181,521</p></td><td><p>209,004</p></td><td><p>217,948</p></td></tr><tr><td>EnglandCCGsTotal</td><td><p>7,818,924</p></td><td><p>8,289,153</p></td><td><p>8,602,990</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Specialised health services, primary care and other directly commissioned services includes some spend on MH services.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2016 answer text <p>Community pharmacy is a vital part of the National Health Service and can play an even greater role. In the Spending Review the Government re-affirmed the need for the NHS to deliver £22 billion in efficiency savings by 2020/21 as set out in the NHS’s own plan, the Five Year Forward View. Community pharmacy is a core part of NHS primary care and has an important contribution to make as the NHS rises to these challenges. The Government believes efficiencies can be made without compromising the quality of services or public access to them. Our aim is to ensure that those community pharmacies upon which people depend continue to thrive and so we are consulting on the introduction of a Pharmacy Access Scheme, which will provide more NHS funds to certain pharmacies compared to others, considering factors such as location and the health needs of the local population.</p><p> </p><p>We are not able to assess which pharmacies may close because we do not know the financial viability of individual businesses or the extent to which they derive income from services commissioned locally by the NHS or local authorities or have non-NHS related income.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/02/2016 10:23:51 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
