(asked on 7th November 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of NHS funding to meet patient need.
This question was answered on 14th November 2017
NHS leadership bodies have developed their own sustainable financial plans, which the Government is backing. Funding is set to increase in real terms by £8 billion per year by 2020-21, including a £1.8 billion Sustainability Fund for NHS trusts. This year, in real terms, NHS funding is £1.7 billion higher than last year, £5 billion higher than in 2015-16, and we have announced an additional £425 million to support our A&Es and locally-led STPs.
