Written Question
NHS: Finance
Tuesday 25th March 2025

Asked by: Gagan Mohindra (Conservative - South West Hertfordshire)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how he plans to allocate the additional funding for the NHS announced in the Autumn Budget 2024.

Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

Thanks to the choices the Chancellor made at the Budget, we are investing an additional £25.7 billion in health and care.

That includes funding that has already helped us to:

  • Agree the GP contract for the first time since the pandemic
  • Provide the biggest increase in hospice funding for a generation
  • Deliver the two million extra appointments we promised
  • And cut waiting lists for five months in a row - and counting

Asked by: Gagan Mohindra (Conservative - South West Hertfordshire)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to reduce ambulance handover times.

Answered by Steve Barclay

Reducing handover delays and improving ambulance response times for patients is one of my top priorities. We are increasing hospital capacity by 7,000 beds and providing £500 million to increase patient discharges. NHS England is providing targeted support to hospitals facing the greatest delays to help get ambulances back on the road quickly.
