Sir Nicholas Soames:To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much of the primary care transformation fund will be invested in Mid Sussex constituency in the next four years.

David Mowatt, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Community Health and Care: NHS England does not hold data at constituency level. NHS England advises that clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) across the country, including Horsham and Mid Sussex CCG, were invited to put forward proposals for investment from the Estates and Technology Transformation Fund (formerly the Primary Care Transformation Fund) in line with local estates and digital plans by the end of June 2016. A detailed review of submissions has begun and NHS England plans to provide feedback to CCGs on their investment bids this autumn.

In the meantime, NHS England is currently in ongoing dialogue with Horsham and Mid Sussex CCG and three practices in East Grinstead with regards to proposals concerning support required to increase capacity and build resilience. The national General Practice Forward View published recently by NHS England sets out the support that is being made available to general practitioner (GP) practices to help address some of the challenges they are facing and to support them to meet future patient need.

Spend on GP services in West Sussex and Mid Sussex

Source: NHS England

Notes:

1. Mid Sussex constituency falls within the Horsham and Mid Sussex CCG area, and data is provided for this and the two other West Sussex CCG areas. This table includes expenditure on GP services, and excludes primary care dentists, optometrists and pharmacists.
2. NHS England has been developing reporting of expenditure at CCG level as a consequence of delegated co-commissioning, which began in 2015-16 with preparations in the previous financial year. For this reason, NHS England does not hold this level of detail for 2013-14. Before April 2013, primary care trusts were responsible for this expenditure, and NHS England does not hold records which would enable it to identify expenditure at this level.
3. The table records expenditure only for which NHS England South (South East) is responsible. CCGs provide some enhanced services, and are also responsible for funding GP out-of-hours services, but this expenditure is not included.
