Pharmacy: Finance
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to provide additional investment for the pharmacy network.
Answered by Darren Jones
At the Autumn Budget the Chancellor announced a £22.6 billion increase in day to day spending for the Department of Health and Social Care from 2023-24 to 2025-26. This is an average increase of 4% in real terms funding growth for the NHS, the highest since before 2010 excluding COVID-19 years.
The Department of Health and Social Care will set out further details of how detailed allocations will be spent, including pharmacy funding, in due course.
