	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2023 answer text <p>The ‘<em>2023/24 priorities and operational planning guidance’</em>, published on 23 December 2022, sets out the action and funding agreed with NHS England to begin recovering National Health Service core services and productivity, including additional capacity for Urgent and Emergency Care. A copy of the guidance is attached.</p><p> </p><p>There will be £1 billion of funding through system allocations to increase capacity based on agreed system plans. It is anticipated that capacity will be focused on increasing General &amp; Acute capacity, intermediate and step-down care and community beds with an expectation of an increase in the utilisation of virtual wards. £600 million will be distributed in 2023/24 and £1 billion in 2024/25 through the Better Care Fund to get people out of hospital on time into care settings, freeing up NHS beds for those that need them. In addition, a £400 million ring-fenced local authority grant for adult social care will support discharge among other goals. There will also be an increase in allocations for systems that host ambulance services to increase ambulance capacity.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 26/01/2023 12:48:16 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham attachment 1 file name 2023-24 planning guidance.pdf title 2023/24 priorities & operational planning guidance
