Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the plan to recover urgent and emergency care services, if he will publish a breakdown of how the £1 billion funding for that purpose will be spent.

The delivery plan for recovering urgent and emergency care services was published on 30 January 2023 and included a commitment of £1 billion of dedicated funding to support capacity in urgent and emergency services. This will include 5,000 new beds as part of the permanent bed base for next winter, as well as increases in ambulance and out-of-hospital capacity. There is currently no plan to publish a full breakdown of this spend.
