The Government has provided £1bn, including Barnett funding for the Devolved Administrations, to deliver the HSF this financial year.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 05/07/2023 07:18:53 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
