Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether annual budget allocations have been made for 2024-25 in relation to the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan.

The Government is backing the plan with over £2.4 billion over the next five years to fund additional education and training places. This is on top of increases to education and training investment, reaching a record £6.1 billion over the next two years.

The education and training budget for 2024-25 was set at the last Spending Review and the Government is working with NHS England to finalise the budget to make sure it reflects recent pay deals.
