Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding his Department is planning to allocate to Public Health England as part of the 5-year NHS funding plan.

The five-year funding plan for the National Health Service, recently announced by the Prime Minister, covers planned resource budgets for NHS England. It does not cover Public Health England’s budgets over the five-year period.

Public Health England’s operating expenditure budget for 2019/20 and 2020/21 is forecast to be £287 million. Public Health England’s budget beyond these years will be agreed as part of the Spending Review settlement.
