Some trusts have been given only seven working days to apply, others don\u2019t even know about it.<\/p>\n<p>The DH told the <em>BMJ<\/em> that \u201cthanks to good management of central capital budgets, we have identified capital funding which could be made available to the NHS. We are now in discussions with the NHS to see how it could best be spent.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This is a counter-intuitive use of the term \u201cbest,\u201d as cobbling multi-million pound bids together in barely a week is not usually regarded as financial best practice.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that, after health secretary Andrew Lansley gave the go-ahead, the DH contacted the strategic health authorities to see if they could find a use for the money. NHS London believes it could get \u00a375 million, but again the DH refuses to discuss whether the money is being divided up by region.<\/p>\n<p>Capital funding for health in England is already down this year \u2013 from \u00a35.1 billion to \u00a34.4 billion. This means the funds which have suddenly materialised amount to around 6.8 per cent of this year\u2019s total spend, hardly a trifling amount.<\/p>\n<p>The claim that the money has been found thanks to good management is undermined by the fact that the DH refused to explain where it had come from. It would not even be drawn on who had been invited to bid.<\/p>\n<p>The DH has years of form when it comes to underspending its capital allocations. It improved its performance in 2010-11, but even then it underspent by more than \u00a3400 million. Underspending of any sort on health has attracted flak in past years, and in the present climate, with the NHS looking for \u00a320bn of productivity gains and about 20 trusts struggling to remain viable, leaving \u00a3300m kicking around would be asking for trouble.<\/p>\n<p>The alternative of hanging on to the money to help pay off the government deficit is less appealing than it might appear. The Treasury is desperate for economic growth, and capital projects eventually translate into jobs, which is why public funding for road, rail, and school projects <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/politics\/2011\/nov\/29\/george-osborne-autumn-statments-transport-projects\">featured prominently<\/a> in last November\u2019s autumn statement from chancellor George Osborne. Leaving capital money in the kitty would be bad economics as well as bad politics.<\/p>\n<p>The DH is looking for projects costing at least \u00a35 million. These are expected to finish in 2012-13 but need to start this year \u2013 so within barely 12 weeks of Whitehall receiving the bids. This means civil servants will have to rush assessment and approval through in a matter of days, not an intelligent way to spend scarce money. And the more money you can pile into this financial year the better.<\/p>\n<p>Trusts who bid will probably pull a plan off the shelf that they had pencilled in for the next financial year\u2014with such a short timescale there is little alternative. This means the \u00a3300 million is likely to ease the funding of schemes already in play rather than stimulate anything additional or innovative, as might have been the case with better planning.<\/p>\n<p>Capital investment is a crucial if little discussed aspect of achieving the \u00a320 billion productivity target by 2014-15. It is needed to move services out of hospitals into the community, for example. With trusts fighting to cut costs, manage demand, and transform services, seeing the DH make such poor use of so much money will exacerbate already strained relations between the government and doctors.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Richard Vize<\/strong> is a journalist and communications consultant.
