Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the projected slippage is against efficiency plans across integrated care systems in the current financial year.
For 2025/26, there is an efficiency and savings target of approximately £11,076 million across all integrated care systems. At month six, the projected delivery for the year remains all but on track against the total efficiency and savings target, with a forecasted shortfall of £5.7 million.
The table below sets out the efficiencies and savings delivered by systems since 2022:
| 2022/23 | 2023/24 | 2024/25 |
Efficiencies and savings delivered by systems (£bn) | 5.0 | 7.3 | 8.7 |
