Health Funding

Asked whether the NHS was now facing a real terms decrease in funds, the PMS said that we had set out the details on health spending at the time of the Spending Review and nothing had changed.

Put that the OBR’s forecast had changed, the PMS said that the Government always set out spending plans on the basis of cash figures. The PMS said that inflation would have an impact on the spending power, but this was only a forecast. The inflation costs faced by departments actually differed depending on what those departments purchased.

Put that the Government’s pledge was not about spending power, but about pounds and pence, the PMS replied that we had set out cash figures for spending on health.
