To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much money NHSE planned to allocate to Integrated Care Boards to fully implement the NHS Long Term Plan tobacco dependence treatment services in 2023-24 as at February 2022; how much money was allocated to ICBs for those services after the publication of the Spring Statement 2022, CP 653; and whether any, additional funding has been allocated by NHSE during financial year 2023-24 to help reduce smoking at regional and national level.
Neil O'Brien
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
As at February 2022, NHS England had an indicative planned integrated care board (ICB) allocation of £65.6 million to fully implement the NHS Long Term Plan tobacco dependence treatment services in 2023/24. In line with the NHS Operating Model and in agreement with ICBs, broader funding allocations have been made in 2023/24 with tobacco dependence treatment allocations forming part of the wider universal and targeted Prevention bundles, totalling £69 million.
