Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the total cost to NHS England was for (a) events, (b) activities, (c) merchandise and (d) other expenditure relating to Pride Month 2023.

The total cost for NHS England was £6,812.80 for Pride Month 2023. Other activities arranged were at no cost to the organisation. NHS England attended events in both Leeds and London.

This is the only record of expenditure held specifically for Pride Month. This was approved expenditure from Health Education England, pre-transfer to NHS England, but the costs were incurred in 2023/24.
