§ Chris GraylingTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the total cash income from(a) nonrecurring and (b) recurring finance provided by his Department and primary care trusts to each NHS acute trust in each of the past three years. [96474]
§ Mr. LammyInformation on the total income for each national health service trust provided by the Department of Health has been placed in the Library. Almost all the income is received from commissioners rather than directly from the Department. The Department does not identify income as non-recurring or recurring. The variations year-on-year indicate increasing income in most cases, however with the establishment of primary care trusts some services may transfer from continuing NHS trusts resulting in a fall in income.
