ACRA report
The Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation (ACRA) continually oversees the development of the weighted capitation formula. It makes recommendations to the Secretary of State for Health on potential changes to the formula between PCT allocation rounds. ACRA is an independent expert body supported by a Technical Advisory Group (TAG). A report of the review of the weighted capitation formula undertaken by ACRA between 2005 and 2008 was published in December 2008.
Equality impact assessment
A new weighted capitation formula has been developed to inform 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 allocations to PCTs. The new formula is covered in this Equality impact assessment.
