Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Department of Health's departmental expenditure limit affects the level of the NHS in Wales' block grant allocation.

The Barnett Formula is applied to changes in the Department of Health’s Departmental Expenditure Limit, which lead to changes to the overall block grant available to each devolved administration. It is for the devolved administrations to determine allocations to individual budgets within their devolved responsibilities.
