Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the NHS public health functions agreement 2023 to 2024 will include a ring-fence in financial directions.
This question was answered on 29th January 2024
My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care’s financial directions to NHS England in respect of the financial year ending on 31 March 2024, do not include a ring-fence for services covered by the annual NHS public health functions agreement. The Government does not intend to set such a ring-fence for the remainder of this period.
