Alistair Burt corrected a written answer on Clinical Commissioning Groups
Luciana Berger (Labour, Liverpool, Wavertree) asked written question 20614 on 17 December 2015. Alistair Burt answered on 5 January 2016 for the Department of Health, and Alistair Burt corrected the answer on 6 January 2016. The corrected text no longer gives the figures 16648, 19441. Altogether 7 words differ between the two versions.

This was the result of a miscommunication between NHS England and the Department. The total NHS expenditure on non-NHS providers is collected centrally, and is published on page 47 of the Department’s annual report, available from: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/447002/DH_accounts_14-15_web.pdf This report divides providers by type (i.e. independent sector providers, voluntary organisations) – it does not specify the different types of services provided. |
