NHS: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish data on how many Activity Management Plans have been issued by NHS Integrated Care Boards to (a) NHS Trusts and (b) independent providers, how many reduced procedures that will cause between November 2025 and March 2026; and what justifications were provided by ICBs for issuing each AMP.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The specific information requested is not held by the Department. Activity management plans are contractual mechanisms within the NHS Standard Contract, used by integrated care boards (ICBs) to manage elective activity and financial control. They can be implemented when providers exceed their indicative activity plans, helping commissioners and providers plan demand, capacity, and expenditure. This information is therefore held at individual ICB level.
