PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(13 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether any of the increased funding for the NHS, as announced in the Autumn Budget 2024, is ring-fenced for ambulance services.

Asked by:
Mr Toby Perkins (Labour)

Answer

The National Health Service’s funding increases have not been ring-fenced in that way. Ring-fencing funding restricts the freedom of integrated care boards to take decisions based on the specific circumstances of their local populations.
