When working out how to allocate the financial resources of the NHS across England, there are many factors that need to be considered. The CCG allocations formula attempts to address the wide variety of issues that might impact the cost of healthcare in a given area. In addition to considering levels of need across different conditions and the demographics of a population, the formula also takes other factors into account such as deprivation, mortality rate and even unemployment.
NHS England and NHS Improvement are seeking views on where changes to the allocation formula should be prioritised. Recent changes have introduced a new rationale for the use of community services based on age profiles and have refreshed the mental health element of the formula to reflect improving diagnosis and changing need.
