Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Paddy Tipping (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 30 March 2010 on behalf of the Department of Health.
Expenditure Changes
- Question
- Despite record increases in funding, all nine PCTs operating in the east midlands do not reach the Government's own funding target. Does my right hon. and learned Friend accept that part of the issue is fast population growth in the east midlands? Is not the solution to ensure that new population figures are fed into the funding formula as quickly as possible?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend is quite right. We need to ensure that the funding formula properly and accurately reflects issues related to population change, which can be significant in particular areas. We need to work through some of those issues, taking a great deal of care, with the other Departments that are affected by this issue.
