We provide operational capital to integrated care boards to prioritise locally, this funding is for the National Health Service to spend on day-to-day needs - including renewal and replacement of equipment, minor building works and ensuring the estate is accessible for people with mobility needs.

We provided £4.2 billion in operational capital last year and an additional £8.4 billion over the next two financial years which systems can use to invest in both the hospital & primary care estate.
