Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much Government funding has been allocated to the Family Nurse Partnership in each year since that initiative was launched; and how many people worked in Family Nurse Partnerships in the last 12 months for which figures are available.
Information on Government funding allocated to the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) to cover costs of the FNP National Unit and local sites between 2006-08 and 2012-13 is set out in the table below.
Year | £ million |
2006-081 | 6.00 |
2008-092 | 5.00 |
2009-102 | 10.30 |
2010-112 | 11.20 |
2011-122 | 12.07 |
2012-132 | 10.99 |
1 Funded by the Department for Children Schools and Families. This covers two financial years.

From 2013-14 only the costs of the national unit were funded centrally by the Government. Since then, FNP local sites have been funded by NHS England and local authorities and this information is not collected centrally.
