	uin	15552
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2015 answer text <p>By 2020-21, the Government will increase funding for the NHS by £10 billion a year in real terms compared to 2014-15 to support the transformation of services across the country. This investment is £2bn more than the NHS asked for, and will help deliver the Government’s objective in moving to a seven day NHS by 2020.</p><br /><p>The Government does not commit to achieving a specific level of funding to the NHS from National Insurance contributions (NICs). Instead, a fixed proportion of each class of NICs receipts (from employees, the self-employed and employers) is allocated directly to the NHS; this adds up to about 20% of NICs receipts. The rest of NHS funding comes from general taxation.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 18/11/2015 16:16:50 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
