Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will place in the Library a copy of the independent review by his Department and led by Hugh Harris last year into NHS funding.
Answered by David Lidington
In advance of the NHS’s 70th anniversary, the Prime Minister announced her intention to work with the NHS to develop a ten-year plan for the future of the health service, underpinned by a five-year funding offer which will see the NHS budget grow by £20 billion a year in real terms by 2023-24. The Government undertook a range of internal policy development and analysis in advance of the announcement. Such analysis is part of the usual internal work to inform the policy-making process, and it would not be appropriate to release it.
