Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Autumn Statement 2022, published on 17 November 2022, CP 751, how much and what proportion of the additional funding allocated to enable rapid action to improve urgent and emergency, elective, and primary care performance will be provided to the NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board.

The Autumn Statement 2022 provides the National Health Service with an additional £3.3 billion for each of the next two years. Overall planning guidance for the NHS was published on 23 December last year and NHS England will confirm associated allocations to individual commissioners, including NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board, shortly.
