To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 11 November 2024 to Question 12760 on Employers' Contributions: General Practitioners, whether support arrangements for additional employer National Insurance contribution costs will be provided to the Northern Ireland Executive as ringfenced resource expenditure for (a) public bodies, (b) GPs and (c) NHS dentists.

As has been confirmed, the UK Government will provide support for departments and other public sector employers for additional employer National Insurance contributions costs. The detail of this policy change is being worked through thoroughly.

My department will continue to engage with the devolved governments.
