NHS: Expenditure
(asked on 21st February 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much was spent from the public purse, in today’s prices, on (a) the National Health Service and (b) NHS maternity services, in England, in each year since 2010.
The information requested is shown in the following table. The table sets out total National Health Service revenue expenditure since 2010/11 in today’s prices. It is not possible to provide a meaningful data series showing NHS spend on maternity services as the data collected from primary care trusts prior to 2013/14 is not comparable with that collected from clinical commissioning groups in subsequent years.
Year | Total National Health Service revenue expenditure (1,2) (£ billion) |
2010/11 | 112.9 |
2011/12 | 114.4 |
2012/13 | 114.7 |
2013/14 | 116.8 |
2014/15 | 119.6 |
2015/16 | 123.1 |
2016/17 | 123.7 |
2017/18 | 125.4 |
2018/19 | 127.8 |
