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

Of that, £24 million was directly linked to NHS England’s budget line, which covers the elements of primary care estate leased by integrated care boards, a relatively small proportion of the overall primary care estate.</p><p>All National Health Service organisations provided IFRS 16 estimates to determine the amount of additional CDEL required for IFRS 16, thus ensuring a fair allocation in accordance with HM Treasury’s guidance during the implementation of the new accounting standard. NHS England then provided allocations to integrated care boards, enabling them to fund primary care leases and corporate buildings. For the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board, the IFRS 16 CDEL allocation was £785,000 in 2022/23.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 07/02/2024 13:03:02 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson previous answer version 16012 answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

uin	9204
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2024 answer text <p>NHS England provided guidance for integrated care boards (ICBs) that requires dental allocations to be ringfenced in 2023/24, with any unused resources re-directed to improve National Health Service dental access in the first instance and not spent on other services. In November 2023, NHS England confirmed that where ICBs had not spent all of their allocation on improving access to dentistry, they would be able to retain any underspend and use this to balance their bottom line and any other pressures. ICBs will decide how to use any forecast underspend in line with this guidance. We are currently considering arrangements for 2024/25.</p><p>There are no current estimates of how much dental ringfence NHS dental funding has been used to support costs associated with strike action. NHS England has issued additional funding to systems of £800 million so far in this financial year to directly cover the costs of strikes.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 19/01/2024 14:41:23 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2023 answer text <p>The funding associated with the former Health and Social Care Levy continues to be available to the National Health Service and social care. This includes the plans to spend £8 billion over three years to help tackle elective backlogs in the NHS. However, Departmental budgets have been adjusted for the fact they are no longer paying the additional employer costs associated with the Levy.</p><p>We recognise that inflation will have an impact into future years and the Government is investing an additional £3.3 billion in each of 2023/24 and 2024/25 to support the NHS in England, enabling rapid action to improve emergency, elective and primary care performance. This means that the NHS’s budget in England will continue to grow in real terms by 1.9% in 2023/24. The NHS will set out full recovery plans for the urgent and emergency care and primary care systems and continue to deliver on the Elective Recovery Plan. In addition, the Chancellor announced up to £2.8 billion in 2023/24 in England and £4.7 billion in 2024/25 to support the adult social care sector.

This gave the National Health Service the certainty they needed to deliver on the objectives of that plan, which included a financial regime that would see all organisations in the NHS return to financial balance by 2023/24.

The response to COVID-19 has included suspension of the usual financial framework and replaced with a temporary regime that reduced burdens on the NHS allowing for focus on the COVID-19 response. The approach has been supported by significant funding packages that include:</p><p>- £31.9 billion for healthcare as set out in the summer Economic Update;</p><p>- a further circa £16.4 billion announced in September including a £3 billion package to support increased winter capacity initiatives; and</p><p>- a further £2.7 billion for NHS systems through the rest of the financial year.</p><p>Planning has started on creating a 2021/22 financial regime that builds on 2020/21, with any funding in addition to the Long Term Plan settlement subject to the current Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 24/11/2020 14:34:50 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
