<p>The National Health Service will see its day-to-day spending rise by £33.9 billion
in cash terms by 2023-24. We are now enshrining this funding in law through the NHS
Funding Bill.</p><p>In September 2019 we announced the next stage of our strategic
investment in the NHS; the Health Infrastructure Plan (HIP). The HIP will deliver
a long-term, rolling five-year programme of investment in health infrastructure. This
will ensure that health infrastructure is fit-for-purpose for decades to come.</p><p>At
the centre of the HIP is a new hospital building programme, which we are backing with
£2.7 billion funding for six new hospital schemes that are receiving funding to go
ahead now, aiming to deliver by 2025, and £100 million seed funding for a further
21 schemes, covering 34 hospitals, that have the green light to go to the next stage
of developing their plans, aiming to deliver between 2025 and 2030.</p><p>Future NHS
capital funding will be provided for in the multi-year capital settlement the Department
will receive at the next capital review.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
