recover and expand elective services over the next three years, including gynaecological
services. We have allocated more than £8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25, in addition
to the £2 billion Elective Recovery Fund and £700 million Targeted Investment Fund
already made available in 2021/2022 to increase elective activity. This funding aims
to deliver the equivalent of approximately nine million additional checks and procedures
and 30% further elective activity by 2024/25 than pre-pandemic levels.</p>
