Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Answer of 30 March 2023 to Question 159027 on NHS: Expenditure, how much NHS England, clinical commissioning groups and integrated care boards spent in aggregate on (a) mental health services, (b) acute health services, (c) social care services, (d) primary medical care, (e) other primary care services, (f) continuing healthcare, (g) specialised services, and (h) other main categories of spending in each financial year since 2015-16; and how much NHS England and integrated care boards plan to spend in aggregate in each of those areas in 2023-24.

The information requested is in attached table due to it’s size.

The £38 billion increase in Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) / Integrated Care Board (ICB) direct commissioning spend between 2019-20 and 2023-24 budget reflects the record settlement for health and social care funding confirmed at the 2021 Spending Review.

As 2022-23 accounts are not yet published, the figures for 2022-23 are the budget for that year. We will be able to provide 2022-23 final outturn once NHS England Annual Accounts are finalised.
