NHS: Expenditure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much did each of the 42 Independent Care Boards and NHS England spend on NHS patient care outsourced to non-NHS entities, excluding other public sector bodies, in each of the financial years 2023-24 and 2024-25.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Information on healthcare spend with non-National Health Service bodies is provided in the Department’s annual report and accounts for 2024/25, which is available at the following link:
The spend is broken down by independent sector, voluntary sector, local authorities, devolved administrations, and other group bodies.
The attached table provides the independent and voluntary sector totals by integrated care board and NHS England. The other categories are public bodies so out of scope of the requested information.
