5. A comparison of the final 2015-16 Estimate and the 2016-17 Main Estimate is set out in Appendix A (1). Format of the Estimate: 6. The 2016-17 Main Estimate takes account of the health and social care system and organisations it follows the 2015-16 estimate structure. 7. The Estimate is presented on a consolidated income and expenditure basis, which is after the elimination of forecast transactions between bodies within the Departmental Group. 8. The Estimate contains details of the net expenditure of the NHS Commissioning Board (known as NHS England) - that is after the elimination of forecast transactions with other bodies within the Departmental Group. Funding issued to the Board was set out in the Finance Directions issued at the same time as The Mandate. A reconciliation between the financial directions and the figures contained within the Estimate is provided at Appendix A (1). 9. For planning purposes, the figures in the Main Estimate for the NHS assume financial balance in both the Commissioning and Provider Sectors. The DH continues to work with the NHS to clarify the financial position and options to address this. An update will be provided to the sectors if required at the Supplementary Estimate.
