The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether public health monies under section 7A of the National Health Service Act 2006 will be ringfenced in 2025.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Currently, there is no ring-fence funding for public health functions delegated by my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to NHS England, known as section 7A services. Funding for section 7A services is allocated as part of NHS England’s Mandate funding total.
