Written Question
NHS: Weather
Tuesday 6th October 2020

Asked by: Simon Clarke (Conservative - Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

What additional support he is providing to the NHS ahead of winter 2020-21.

Answered by Edward Argar

This Government is committed to supporting the National Health Service and wider social care sector this winter, as it has throughout this year. In July, the Government announced £3 billion in additional funding, alongside £450 million for accident and emergency department upgrades and expansions. Similarly, we are supporting adult social care with a further £546 million of infection control funding over this winter. Where health policy is devolved, the devolved nations have benefitted from the appropriate Barnett consequentials.
