Is there extra funding support for WTD?

In 2008/09, £110m was included in PCT allocations to support WTD compliance. This was increased to £310m in 2009/10. To support employers, the tariff uplift for 2009/10 reflected £150m funding for WTD. As some specialties face particular challenges a further £50m was been allocated to PCTs to support changes needed in the 24/7 specialties for trained doctor solutions, particularly in paediatrics and obstetric services. SHAs have been asked to report on how this money is spent.
