To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much his Department spent on NHS building works in each financial year since 2009-10.

There are two types of capital funding provided to National Health Service providers. The first is the capital allocation provided to NHS providers, and now to integrated care boards to undertake priority work. The second is capital allocations directly from the Department to NHS providers for capital schemes within national programmes. Additionally, capital is provided to NHS England for their central programmes and primary care.

The total capital spend by the NHS, combining these two sources, from 2009/10 to 2021/22 is shown in the table below. This covers a broad category of work including some technology programmes but Majority will have been spent on NHS building work in the form of maintenance, refurbishment, safety works and new build:

The NHS Provider capital spend on new buildings fixed assets, as well as assets under construction, is available in their consolidated annual accounts in the Property, Plant and Equipment note, published by NHS England from 2017/18. NHS England’s spend on new buildings will similarly be shown in their published annual accounts.

The revenue spend on maintenance is shown in the accounts in the operating expenditure note under Premise.
