The latest programme budgeting data have been published and a new version of the programme budgeting benchmarking tool has been released. Click here to access the webpage containing the tool. Scroll down to the section entitled 'Commissioner level expenditure data' where you will find a link to the new tool.

The tool enables commissioners to identify:

• How they spend their allocation over 23 disease categories and their respective subcategories;
• How their disease category level expenditure is split across 12 care settings (2010-11 only) and;
• How their expenditure distribution pattern compares with other commissioners nationally, locally or with similar characteristics
