Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much money HM Treasury will receive this year from the National Insurance increase in financial year 2022-23; and how much funding will be allocated to the (a) NHS and (b) care sector from that rise in that year.

In 2022-23, the Health and Social Care Levy takes the form of an increase to National Insurance contributions. The most recent estimate of the net yield from this increase is £12.7 billion, which was published in Autumn Budget and Spending Review 2021.

A population share of receipts from the 2022-23 increase will go to the NHS or equivalent in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as with the existing NHS National Insurance contributions allocation.

Funding for Health and Social Care over the next three years was confirmed at Autumn Budget and Spending Review 2021.
