<p>Total spending on the National Health Service in England (against the Department's
Departmental Expenditure Limit) was around £105.2 billion in 2012-13. 2013-14 accounts
figures will be available later this year.</p><p> </p><p>Through the Department, the
NHS is funded predominantly through general taxation.</p><p> </p><p>NHS providers
of health care - NHS trusts and foundation trusts (FTs) - are semi-autonomous organisations
whose income derives predominantly from the provision of healthcare services.</p><p>
</p><p>NHS trusts and FTs also receive smaller levels of income from other sources,
such as local authorities, private and overseas patients, education and training and
injury costs recovery.</p><p> </p><p>To illustrate the levels of income received from
varying sources, the following table summarises the final income received in NHS trusts
and FTs in 2012-13.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
