Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much has been spent from ring-fenced public health budgets in each year since 2012.
The following table shows the ring-fenced grant in each year since inception in 2013/14, together with the movement in public health reserves each year (the amount unspent). Data for 2012 are not available as the grant has only been in existence since 2013/14.
Spend from the ring-fenced public health budgets, 2013/14 – 2018/19
