Please see attached spreadsheet.
Please note that some of the scope of your request covers the timeframe prior to the merger of the former 4 Derbyshire CCGs into Derby and Derbyshire CCG in April 2019. The information for all these 4 CCGs is included.
Please also note that no figures for 2020/21 are provided; due to issues arising from the Covid-19 pandemic the way in which this information is held was temporarily changed during this year. As a result we are not able to break down the information that we hold to a sufficient level of detail to accurately respond to your questions with regards to this financial year.
I hope that this answers your queries with the information we currently hold, but if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
