The funding choices we take after exiting the EU will be based on the UK’s domestic priorities and will be affected by the then economic environment, the fiscal position and the negotiated outcome.

This Government is committed to ensuring that the NHS and local authorities have the funding that they need to deliver health and social care at the high standards that patients rightly expect.

On top of our existing £10 billion additional investment set out at the Spending Review, at Spring Budget we increased NHS capital funding by £425m, and will assess further capital funding proposals again in the autumn.
