<p>We are delivering on our historic long-term settlement for the National Health
Service, which will see funding increase by £33.9 billion by 2023-24. We are now confirming
an additional £3 billion for the NHS next year, on top of the long-term settlement,
to support the recovery from the impact of COVID-19.</p><p>Further funding to help
ensure the NHS can continue to meet the ongoing costs of tackling COVID-19 will also
be set out in the New Year. This will then allow planning guidance for 2021-22 to
be communicated to the system and for individual organisations such as Manchester
Royal Infirmary and Withington Hospital to agree financial plans. The Government is
working with NHS England and NHS Improvement to ensure the NHS has all it needs to
plan effectively ahead of the new financial year in April.</p>
