Health Services: Devolution
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to reduce barriers to treatment and care between UK nations.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
While health is predominantly devolved, working together across the United Kingdom on health and social care is ingrained in our values. NHS emergency care is available for all patients, regardless of borders and we are working with the Devolved Governments to support people to lead independent, healthier lives for longer. This government has provided an additional £6.6 billion through the Barnett formula to support the Scottish Government.
