answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2024 answer text <p>NHS England, which is usually taken as the basis of the National Health Service budget, was established in 2013/14, and so equivalent figures for earlier years are not available. For comparisons before 2013/14, the Government usually uses the Department’s overall budget, of which the NHS budget forms the vast majority. The overall budget, including the NHS and other components, was £183.6 billion in 2023/24. In 2009/10 it was £100.2 billion which, adjusting for inflation using gross domestic product deflators published on 28 June 2024, would be the equivalent of £141.5 billion in 2023/24.</p> answering member constituency Bristol South answering member printed Karin Smyth question first answered 29/07/2024 09:38:14 answering member 4444 label Biography information for Karin Smyth

uin	1609
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2024 answer text <p>We know that patients are finding it harder than ever to see a general practitioner (GP) or National Health Service dentist, and we are committed to fixing the the crisis in primary care to secure the long-term sustainability of the NHS, and increase access to local services including those in the Aldershot constituency. Aldershot sits within the NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board (ICB), where the percentage of GP appointments delivered within two weeks of booking is 3.2% lower than the national average. Our annual statistics show that in 2023, only 40% of the adult population in the Frimley ICB were seen by an NHS dentist in the last two years, compared with 41% nationally.</p><p>Our plan to restore GPs will require both investment and reform. We have committed to training thousands more GPs, ending the 8:00am scramble for appointments by introducing a modern booking system, and trialing new neighborhood health centers to bring community health services together under one roof. Furthermore, the Government will also bring back the family doctor by incentivising GPs to see the same patient. The Government will also tackle the immediate dental crisis with a rescue plan to provide 700,000 more urgent dental appointments, and to recruit new dentists to the areas that need them most.</p> answering member constituency Aberafan Maesteg answering member printed Stephen Kinnock question first answered 29/07/2024 19:28:06 answering member 4359 label Biography information for Stephen Kinnock previous answer version 1351 answering member constituency Aberafan Maesteg answering member printed Stephen Kinnock answering member 4359 label Biography information for Stephen Kinnock
