The main capital allocations to the national health service were announced on
We allocate revenue funding to primary care trusts (PCTs) on the basis of the relative needs of their populations. A weighted capitation formula is used to determine each primary care trust's target share of available resources, to enable them to commission similar levels of health services for populations in similar need.
It is for PCTs, in partnership with strategic health authorities and other local stakeholders, to determine how best to use their revenue funds to meet national and local priorities for improving health, tackling health inequalities and modernising services.
