Answer
The transitional funding provided by the Northern Ireland Executive to support the implementation of TYC came from the 2012/13 Invest to Save (ITS) programme and from monies allocated through the Monitoring Rounds process in 2013/14 and 2014/15. No monies were transferred from the acute/primary care or community care budgets as transitional funding.
During financial years 2012/13 to 2014/15 transitional funding to the value of £25m has been invested in the implementation of Transforming Your Care.
Activities supported through transitional funding have contributed to the shift of services and associated resources from the acute care setting into primary, community and social care settings. The value of the services and resources shifted was set out in my answer to AQW 46748/11-15.
