Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) can be on the boards of any National Health Service body.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England published the \u2018AHPs into Action\u2019 framework in January 2017, which outlines the impact and potential of AHPs, including as members of boards.<\/p>

NHS Improvement has commissioned research into AHP leadership in NHS provider organisations, and has published \u2018Leadership of allied health professions in trusts: what exists and what matters\u2019.

The quoted £45 million funding figure includes both revenue and capital funding elements: £30 million and £15 million respectively.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England made available up to £30 million of transformation funding over three years, with national funding conditional on match-funding from local commissioners. This funding was intended to support local areas with transitional costs associated with moving to a new community-based care model.<\/p>
<\/p>
The \u2018Building the right support\u2019 plan also committed NHS England to investing £15 million in capital schemes. Following the subsequent 2015 Spending Review, the transformation capital grants were increased to up to £20 million per year to be made available for the subsequent five years for investing in learning disability and autism capital projects.<\/p>
