Vaccination: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of NHS England’s total budget has been allocated to vaccination and immunisation programmes in each of the last five years.
Answered by Karin Smyth
NHS England is responsible for the operational delivery of vaccination and immunisation programmes, although this does not include the procurement of vaccines. The following table shows the proportion of NHS England’s total budget allocated to the operational delivery of vaccination and immunisation programmes for the last five years, where accounts have already been published:
Financial year | Vaccination and immunisation costs (£m) | NHS England total budget (£m) | Proportion of NHE England total budget spend on vaccination and immunisation |
2019/20 | 309 | 121,334 | 0.25% |
2020/21 | 955 | 147,132 | 0.65% |
2021/22 | 1,499 | 147,973 | 1.01% |
2022/23 | 989 | 155,228 | 0.64% |
