Though far from the only lever, funding flows have a significant influence on the shape of health systems and services, and could be exploited more in Wales. Some targeted funding has been put in place for 2015-16: GBP 30 million of hypothecated funding to develop primary care services across Wales, and GBP 20 million to take forward projects funded by the Intennediate Care Fund this year that have proven to be effective across community and acute environments, linking out-of-hospital care and social care to strengthen the resilience of the unscheduled care system. Pushing beyond this, Wales could consider commitments or concrete ambitions such as setting an expectation that a certain percentage of Health Board spending be shifted out of hospitals and secondary care and towards primary care in the next 5-10 years, or pushing for minimum investment levels from Health Board financial planning in primary and community care.
