The NHS Long Term Plan was launched in January 2019 by the National Health Service, and thanks to the Government\u2019s investment of £33.9 billion in cash terms by 2023-24, will transform patient care and make sure every penny of taxpayers\u2019 money is spent wisely.<\/p>
The future of budgets outside of the NHS England resource settlement will be confirmed later this year at the Spending Review.<\/p>
