Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proportion of funding allocated to improving GPs' surgeries in the Autumn Statement will be allocated to improvements in diabetes care.

The additional funding announced by the Chancellor in the Autumn Statement will enable the National Health Service to continue to meet rapidly rising demand in the short term while making the investments in new services and facilities to transform care for patients and ensure that the NHS remains sustainable in the longer term.

As part of the additional funding announced, £1 billion will be invested in England over the next four years (2015-16 to 2018-19) in modern infrastructure, technology and facilities in primary and community care settings. NHS England will set out in due course their proposals for how this funding will be used.
