National Health Service organisations are responsible for deciding locally the most appropriate structures and arrangements they need to put in place to deliver services to their patients within available resources, meeting any tax liabilities that may arise and always ensuring they are working within the existing tax framework as applicable in the United Kingdom.<\/p>
<\/p>
This principle applies to the commissioning and delivery of the Accountable Care Models Contract (ACO contract). The Department expects local health economies, particularly providers, to consider carefully the VAT implications of any organisational form they choose to develop for the purpose of holding an ACO contract.<\/p>
<\/p>
An initial high level meeting between all affected parties was hosted by the Department on 13 July 2017.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department and NHS England officials continue to work with Manchester and HM Revenue and Customs to assess the issues arising from the development of a Manchester ACO, including the VAT implications.<\/p>"}

Claimants of Universal Credit will be entitled to claim help with their National Health Service healthcare travel costs if their earnings for the most recent assessment period are below prescribed thresholds. A claimant would be entitled to claim help with their NHS healthcare travel costs if their earnings during that period were:<\/p>
- £435 or less;<\/p>
- £935 or less if their Universal Credit includes an element for either:<\/p>
- a child; or<\/p>
- limited capability for work.<\/p>
<\/p>
The \u2018most recent assessment period\u2019 means the assessment period that ended immediately before the date on which a claimant claimed help with their NHS healthcare travel costs. The period runs for a calendar month.<\/p>
<\/p>
Where claimants claim Universal Credit as a couple, the earnings threshold that applies is either the earnings of the single claimant or the joint claimants\u2019 combined income.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, where claimants who are in receipt of an element for either a child or limited capacity for work, are responsible for a child, or a young person who is aged over 16 and under 19 who is receiving education or are in a traineeship, those children and young persons will be entitled to claim help with their NHS healthcare travel costs. Individuals aged 18 who are not receiving education and are universal credit claimants in their own right will be entitled to this benefit.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department has no current plans to change these arrangements, but will keep the earnings thresholds under review on an annual basis.<\/p>"}
