SHRI K.R.P. PRABAKARAN:

Will the Minister of HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE be pleased to state:

- (b) whether any analysis has been done to find the reasons behind the low expenditure on the family planning programme; and
- (c) whether the Government proposes to enhance the budget for family planning in the financial year 2018 - 19 which at present is only 4 percent of the total RCH flexi - pool budget and if so, the details thereof?

## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI ASHWINI KUMAR CHOUBEY)

- (a) & (b): Under  National  Health  Mission  (NHM),  Family  Planning  is  one  of  the  major activities.  The funds are approved activity -wise but are allocated/released to States pool -wise under  NHM.    Hence,  a  statement  indicating  SPIP  (State  Programme  Implementation  Plan) Approval and State - wise Expenditure towards the activity Family Planning under NHM during 2016- 17  is  enclosed  at  Annexure. Approvals  are  given  on  the  higher  side  to  improve  the absorption capacity of the States. However, expenditure under the particular scheme depends on the  overall  availability  of  funds  in  a  particular  year. Moreover,  Public  Health  being  a  State subject, its implementation primarily lies with the State.
- (c): Government has proposed to increase the budget allocation under NHM for Financi al Year 2018 - 19 to Ministry of Finance.
