A newly-formed health authority covering Welwyn Hatfield is facing a massive ?41million less than its fair share of NHS cash, a new study has claimed.

A revised funding formula being considered by NHS England shows the East and North Hertfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is underfunded by more than 6.5 per cent.

The study, by the independent advisory committee on resource allocations (ACRA), says the authority should have received more than ?629.7 million in the current financial year.

Instead, it was allocated ?588.1 million ? a 6.61 per cent shortfall.

The national figures, which emerged last week, revealed some CCGs were getting more than appeared fair ? including Liverpool, which was claimed to be overpaid by ?50million, and Cumbria, with ?62million ?too much?.
