This amendment prompted a review of the accounting arrangements, which concluded that NHS Business Services Authority now has control over Supply Chain activities – therefore the transactions will be consolidated into their own financial statements. The financial asset (investment in NHS Supply Chain) has been replaced with inventory, receivables and creditors, generating a net credit to the CDEL outturn.</p><p>Whilst spending by NHS trusts and foundation trusts does impact on the Department’s group RDEL and CDEL controls, they are not allocated budgets directly by the Department. They fund their activities via income received from trading relating to provision of healthcare services, from NHS England and clinical commissioning groups.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 21/10/2016 11:27:48 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
