NHS: Finance

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how he plans to allocate the additional funding for the NHS announced in the Autumn Budget 2024.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Thanks to the choices the Chancellor made at the Budget, we are investing an additional £25.7 billion in health and care.

That includes funding that has already helped us to:

  • Agree the GP contract for the first time since the pandemic
  • Provide the biggest increase in hospice funding for a generation
  • Deliver the two million extra appointments we promised
  • And cut waiting lists for five months in a row - and counting
