What are the funding implications?

All HEE funded posts are part funded by HEE and part funded by the employer. Under the principle that ‘the money follows the posts’ where posts are redistributed and reallocated from one provider to another, the HEE funding moves as well. Understanding of the financial impact of changes can be informed by comparing the estimated cost of hosting training posts and what HEE contributes. In all but exceptional circumstances these will not be equal.

Therefore, there will be some financial gains and losses for providers when training posts are moved. Where a provider loses a training post, they will lose income. There is local funding that is made available which could go towards alternative service provision if trainees are no longer in post. This is to be agreed by HEE and NHSE as identified.
