Many parts of England are not getting their “fair share” of health funding, the influential Public Accounts Committee has said.
In a warning to the Department of Health and NHS England, committee chair Margaret Hodge said that the Government was failing to provide “equal access for equal need”.
In a new report, the committee found that funding for some areas of England was more than £100 per person below what they were entitled to.
Funding allocations to Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and local authorities are determined based on health need, using a formula which takes into account population size as well as other factors such as life expectancy.
