CCG funding allocations published

NHS England has published the funding allocations that clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) will receive over the next two years, which will see their funding rise from £96 billion to £100 billion.

This new funding formula based on more accurate, detailed data follows an extensive review, which included a submission from Public Health England. It includes a deprivation measure specifically aimed at tackling health inequalities.

This means that all CCGs that decide on local health services will receive a funding increase matching inflation in the next two years, with the most underfunded areas, and those with fast-growing populations, receiving more.
