Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Answer of 1 May 2024 to Question 19413 on NHS: Expenditure, how much NHS England, clinical commissioning groups and integrated care boards spent in aggregate on (a) mental health services, (b) acute health services, (c) NHS community health services (d) social care services, (e) primary medical services, (f) specialised services, (g) NHS continuing healthcare, and all other recorded spending categories in each financial year since 2015-16; and how much those organisations plan to spend in aggregate in each of those areas in the 2025-26 financial year.

The table attached sets out the spend categories for the specified services commissioned by NHS England and the integrated care boards, formerly the clinical commissioning groups, using audited figures between 2015/16 to 2024/25.

Information for 2025/26 is unvalidated and not quality assured. In-year data is not routinely reported on with the breakdown of spend used this answer and would be subject to material change between plan and outturn as a result.

75% of NHS England commissioned social services are within the community services line.
