4RDEL figures are from Annex A in the core tables of the 2016-17 Department of Health and Social Care Annual Report. CDEL figures are from table 1.8 of the 2017 Autumn Budget statement.
The Prime Minister has announced a five year funding agreement which will see the National Health Service budget grow by £20 billion, in real terms, by 2023-24. The figures in the table exclude the associated planned additions to resource budgets for NHS England in 2019-20 and 2020-21, which will be confirmed at a future fiscal event and which are not yet reflected in the Department’s RDEL and CDEL. They also exclude the additional funding that the Government will provide to the NHS in the current financial year to cover Agenda for Change pay deal costs.
