<p>The Government has committed an additional 2.1% funding in real terms to the National
Health Service for the year 2017-18. This is the extra money being given through the
NHS England Mandate to front-line services. The following table sets out the comparable
figures back to 2013-14, when NHS England was created.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>NHS
England Mandate (cash) £ billion</p></td><td><p>Real terms increase % (2017-18 prices)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>109.9</p></td><td><p>2.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>106.0</p></td><td><p>3.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>100.5</p></td><td><p>2.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>97.3</p></td><td><p>1.3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>94.7</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Prior to 2013-14, NHS funding was measured only through the Department’s departmental
expenditure limit. A series of tables showing the Department’s total departmental
expenditure limit from 1997-98 to 2013-14 is attached, due to the size of the data.
During this period, the Government method of accounting changed from cash to a resource
budgeting basis. The figures in different stages of the accounting change are not
comparable.</p>
