The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his Department’s policies of the Transformation Fund announced in the Spring Statement 2025; and whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of using this fund to improve palliative and end of life care services.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

We want a society where every person receives high-quality, compassionate care from diagnosis through to the end of life.

As part of the Spring Statement, the Government announced a £3.25 billion Transformation Fund to drive efficiencies across Government and save money later in the Parliament and set out how this would be allocated over the Spending Review process.
