Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much of the £645 million allocated for Pharmacy First had been used as of 3 December 2024.

Verified data to the end of November 2024 shows that £82 million has been spent in the 2024/25 financial year on the seven common clinical pathways and the associated incentive payments on expanding blood pressure and contraception services. A comprehensive view of all spending against the Pharmacy First budget will be available after the end of the financial year.
