FOI 2025/1405

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding your Integrated Care Board’s programme budget expenditure for the financial year 2024/25.
INFORMATION REQUESTED:
Please provide the following information relating to your ICB’s programme budget expenditure for the financial year 2024/25 (1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025):

1. Programme Budget Expenditure by Category (£000s):
• General and acute services expenditure
• Mental health services expenditure (MHIS)
• Learning disability and autism and dementia services expenditure
• Community health services expenditure
• Maternity services expenditure
• Prescribing expenditure
• Primary care expenditure
• Specialised services expenditure
• Continuing health care expenditure (excluding MHIS)
• Any other expenditure not otherwise recorded above

NHS GM publishes information which supports this request as part of its Annual Report, in the Financial Review section, which can be found at Annual Report Template 2024/25. This includes the percentage expenditure in respect of each category.

The specific values are included in the table below:

The following notes should be read alongside the above table:

• The data requested is explicitly in respect of “Programme Budgets”. This is therefore taken to exclude Running Cost (Administration) budgets, which are not included above.
• * NHS GM’s MHIS position for 2024/25 is subject to external certification by an external accountant prior to it being considered finalised. Once the certification process has been completed, this will be published on NHS GM’s website. Draft figures for various elements have been separately extracted as follows from the various sections reported above, and included within the Mental Health (MHIS) section, in line with the request:
  • LD, Autism and Dementia services have been separately removed from the Mental Health section and reported on their individual line
  • Prescribing expenditure excludes estimates for specific MH drug costs which have instead been incorporated within the Mental Health line
  • Continuing Healthcare costs have had the MHIS eligible element removed from these to be reported in the Mental health line/
• NHS GM does not separately report maternity expenditure. This is because significant elements of expenditure are included within block contracts with NHS Foundation Trusts, and therefore are included within the Acute or Specialised Commissioning section above.
