answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2018 answer text <p>Providers are not funded directly by the Department. The majority of the Department’s funding is allocated to NHS England, primarily for the commissioning of healthcare services from a range of primary and secondary care providers. National Health Service providers (NHS trusts and foundation trusts) fund their spending via income received from NHS commissioners in return for the provision of healthcare services to their local population. It is for commissioners to ensure that providers’ services meet the standards, including for providing food for patients with special dietary requirements, set out by the Care Quality Commission.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 08/05/2018 10:42:53 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
