The allocation of funding to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to support them in commissioning services for their local population is one of the key duties of NHS England. The approach NHS England must take in setting allocations is outlined in the mandate from the Department which says:<\/p>
<\/em><\/p> \u201cThe Government expects the principle of ensuring equal access for equal need to be at the heart of NHS England\u2019s approach to allocating budgets.\u201d<\/p> <\/p> The approach is also informed by NHS England\u2019s duty to reduce inequalities to accessing services and the outcomes of care.<\/p> <\/p> These two aims are reflected in the target formula, which produces a target allocation or \u2018fair share\u2019 for each area, based on a complex assessment of factors such as demography, morbidity, deprivation, and the unavoidable cost of providing services in different areas. The NHS England Board has agreed a pace of change policy that seeks to bring all CCGs to target funding over time.<\/p> <\/p> The formula is based on independent academic research and is overseen by an independent external group, the Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation, which provides advice to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and the Chief Executive of NHS England.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p>"}
