Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of funding for the NHS.
The Government has and will continue to prioritise investment into the NHS. We worked closely with NHS leadership to agree £3.3 billion per year of new funding for the NHS in England at the Autumn Statement. This is on top of the historic funding settlement that the NHS received at the last spending review. All in all, The NHS resource budget in England will increase to £165.9 billion in 2024-25, up from £123.8 billion in 2019-20.
