Total spending on the National Health Service in England (against the Department's Departmental Expenditure Limit) was around £105.2 billion in 2012-13. 2013-14 accounts figures will be available later this year.<\/p>

<\/p>

Through the Department, the NHS is funded predominantly through general taxation.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS providers of health care - NHS trusts and foundation trusts (FTs) - are semi-autonomous organisations whose income derives predominantly from the provision of healthcare services.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS trusts and FTs also receive smaller levels of income from other sources, such as local authorities, private and overseas patients, education and training and injury costs recovery.<\/p>

<\/p>

To illustrate the levels of income received from varying sources, the following table summarises the final income received in NHS trusts and FTs in 2012-13.<\/p>

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care providers in England. Under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (2008 Act) all providers of regulated activities have to register with the CQC and meet a set of requirements of safety and quality. As the CQC is a public authority it has a legal obligation in relation to protecting, respecting and fulfilling people's rights under the Human Rights Act 1998 (1998 Act).<\/p>

If a provider fails to meet these requirements the CQC has a wide range of enforcement powers that it can use to protect patients and service users from the risk of poor care.<\/p>

The CQC has advised that it has taken the following published enforcement action during the financial year 2013-14.<\/p>

- The CQC undertook two urgent cancellations of providers' registration;<\/p>

- The CQC undertook 53 cancellations of providers' registration;<\/p>

- The CQC imposed a condition on a provider on 45 occasions;<\/p>

- The CQC varied a provider's condition of registration on 13 occasions;<\/p>

- The CQC undertook an urgent variation of a provider's conditions of registration on 13 occasions;<\/p>

- The CQC imposed 1,269 warning notices on providers and 18,408 compliance actions on providers; and<\/p>

- The CQC issued over 500 fixed penalty notices.<\/p>

<\/p>

The CQC monitors and inspects health and social care providers under regulations which stipulate that providers must deliver care and treatment to people with due regard to their age, sex, religion, sexual orientation, race, cultural and linguistic background and disability (Regulation 17).<\/p>

<\/p>

Where services do not meet standards for Regulation 17, the CQC sets compliance actions and monitors whether providers have taken action to meet the standard. If they have not, the CQC may take enforcement action. Between 1 October 2012 and 30 September 2013, the CQC found 48 services did not comply with Regulation 17, leading to enforcement action. This enforcement action is set out in the following table.<\/p>

The CQC's consultation \u2018A New Start'<\/em>, in June 2013 on how it regulates, inspects and rates services included a section on how Human Rights would be protected by changes to its regulatory model. To accompany the consultation, the CQC produced a draft document entitled, \u2018Equality and Human Rights Duties Impact Analysis (decision making and policies)', to give more detail about the impact of the proposed changes on equality and human rights and how they would promote equality and human rights for people who use health and social care services.<\/p>

<\/p>

The CQC also consulted on its approach to human rights as part of a broader consultation on changes to regulation of care services. The CQC explained its proposed strategy for delivering on its commitment to promote equality, diversity and human rights in its regulatory work; to provide detail about what the strategy will mean in practice; and to receive feedback from important stakeholders.<\/p>

<\/p>

The CQC held the consultation between 9 April 2014 and 4 June 2014. The CQC will respond to the results of the consultation in September 2014.<\/p>

In January 2014 the CQC published \u2018Equality Counts', a report providing information about equality in its workforce and for people who are affected by its regulatory policies and practices. The CQC will use the information in this report to drive its work in promoting equality and human rights, both in its regulatory functions and as an employer. The CQC will continue to develop its new approach to ensure equality in different types of health and social care services.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2000", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Earl Howe"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Earl Howe"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-06-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-06-30T12:47:35.684448Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-06-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Services: Human Rights"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government when they will make available to Parliament their assessment of the impact of the stronger regulatory powers available to the Care Quality Commission since 2008 on the provision of more human-rights compatible care to all service users, including the evidence on which that assessment is based, as recommended by the Joint Committee on Human Rights in its report Legislative Scrutiny: Care Bill (11th Report, Session 2013\u201314, HL Paper 121).", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3803", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Low of Dalston"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Low of Dalston"} ], "uin" : "HL498"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/62833", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/62833/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Approximately £93 million was paid to retailers during 2013-14 for Healthy Start vouchers they had accepted in exchange for milk, formula milk, fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables. Retailers have six months from the use-by date printed on vouchers to claim reimbursement, and typically they claim reimbursement for at least 91% of all Healthy Start vouchers issued.<\/p>
