Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department takes to measure the amount of NHS funds spent on health services for children each year; and what estimate he has made of the amount of NHS spending on health services for children in each of the last five years.
NHS England has made no assessment on the amount of National Health Service funds spent on health services for children. Overall expenditure by clinical commissioning groups and services commissioned by NHS England is not split between children and adults.
