HC Deb 26 July 2000 vol 354 cc622-6W
Mr. Hesford

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much of the additional spending for health announced in the last Budget has been allocated to achieve specific targets; what the targets are for each health authority; and how much funding has been allocated to each target within each health authority. [131744]

Table 1:
Purpose £ million
Additions to health authority any primary care group/trust unified allocations, to achieve financial balance, to improve waiting lists and times, to implement winter plans, including developing intermediate care services and to action recommendations of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence. 600
To reward performance against indicators for waiting, winter planning and financial balance. The money is allocated in stages throughout the year. The criteria used to assess whether health authorities receive payments are based on national benchmarks and locally agreed plans. 60
For further development of services for wheelchair users. Health authorities are able to use this money flexibly to meet local needs and priorities in wheelchair services. 4
For further development of smoking cessation clinics. This money supports the National Priorities Guidance targets for smoking, namely 150,000 smokers accessing services and 20,000 quitting long-term; which in turn supports a 1 per cent, fall in prevalence by April 2001. 4
Further funding for booked admissions to reduce waiting. By March 2001 booking should be taking place in all acute NHS Trusts, in at least two specialities/high volume procedures. By the same date amount two million patients will have received a booked appointment or admission to hospital. 10
To support extended access to primary care and access to extended services in primary care. No specific targets for health authorities yet set. 54.5
For nurse leadership initiatives enabling all ward sisters and charge nurses to attend a leadership programme. 2
To increase critical care capacity (£5 million for neo-natal services and £145 million for adult intensive care of which £2.5 million goes to support local service redesign). Allocations to individual health authorities will be announced shortly. 150
For a flu vaccination programme. This will be offered to all aged 65 and over, as well as the 'risk' population. The main objective is to reduce the number of deaths and serious illness in those groups most likely to be affected. 60
For information technology. Allocations to health authorities and targets to be finalised. 60
For the development of cancer networks and for a peer review assessment visiting process for cancer services. 3
