We estimate that, had the Treasury allocated additional funding to the Department of Health to support the 1 per cent pay deal—which it did not implement south of the border, of course—there would have been additional spend of £300 million in England. The Barnett consequentials for health in Scotland would have been just under £30 million, which would have been a substantial additional contribution to improving healthcare in Scotland next year.
