The spending review set budgets for the National Health Service for the years up to and including 2020-21. The vast majority of income and costs of NHS budgets are denominated in pounds sterling. Initial work has been undertaken by Departmental officials to review the potential impact of changes in the exchange rate on costs in the NHS and this will continue to be reviewed alongside other aspects of costs modelling.
