answer text <p>Tax-Free Childcare is accessible UK-wide. It provides the same level of support to parents - 20% of childcare costs up to a cap of £2000 per child per year - regardless of the region in which they live. Therefore, the spending in Northern Ireland is not pre-allocated and will depend on the uptake of the service in Northern Ireland.</p> more like this

answer text <p>There are approximately 5 million active members of public service pension schemes, which are usually unfunded defined benefit schemes. There are multiple public service pension schemes, managed by different government departments and devolved administrations. The value of an individual’s pension can depend on a number of factors, including career length, accrual rate, pay progression and what age they choose to retire. The precise information requested is not readily available as it is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As part of Spending Review settlements, some spending is subject to specific policy ring-fences. If so, departments may not move money across the ring-fence, except as specified in the Spending Review settlement. The budgets for the National Citizen Service are subject to such a policy ring-fence. Her Majesty’s Treasury keeps all such ring-fences under review.</p> more like this

answer text <p>NHS funding has been set out in the published Long Term Plan which commits to grow NHS revenue funding by an average of 3.4% in real terms over the next 5 years – a real terms increase of 20.5 billion by 2023/24. The Barnett formula will be applied in the usual way to determine funding for the devolved administrations. It is for devolved administrations to allocate this funding across their devolved responsibilities, including to their health services if they so choose.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to supporting frontline staff in the NHS who make a valuable contribution to patient care. More than one million NHS staff in England are currently benefitting from the three-year Agenda for Change pay deal, which came into force in 2018/19 and will see the starting salary for a newly qualified NHS nurse rise to £24,907 by 2020/21, an increase of 12.6% since 2017/18.</p><p> </p><p>The Government takes a flexible approach to public sector pay, taking into account each workforce’s circumstances so that public sector employers can address skill shortages, incentivise improvements to public sector productivity, and recruit to meet demand for services. This approach means that public servants, including NHS frontline staff, are rewarded fairly while making sure that public services remain affordable and sustainable in the long-term.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
