Integrated Care Boards: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to provide additional funding to ICBs.
Answered by Karin Smyth
At the Autumn Budget, the Government announced a £22.6 billion increase in day-to-day health spending and a £3.1 billion increase in the capital budget over 2024/25 and 2025/26. The recently published recurrent integrated care board core allocations will grow by 4.1% in 2025/26, compared to 2024/25. These growths exclude funding allocations that are made after convergence, including additional elective funding and transfers in from the Service Development Fund, which are treated separately.
