Andrew Mitchell MP has today announced that the allocation for health care for Sutton Coldfield will rise.
Andrew Mitchell MP said, “Despite difficult financial circumstances, the PCT revenue allocations in 2012-13 will grow, representing a real-terms increase and a continued positive investment in front-line NHS services.”
This will be the last round of allocations made directly to PCTs. Subject to the passage of the Health and Social Care Bill, for 2013-12 onwards the NHS Commissioning Board will be responsible for the allocation of resources to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) while the Department of Health will make ring-fenced grants to Local Authorities for their public health responsibilities.
