Answer
The Government is committed to supporting our vital emergency services.
That is why in 2025/26 we have increased health spending by £22.6 billion relative to 2023/24, policing funding by £1.1 billion and standalone Fire and Rescue Authorities by £65.5 million compared to 2024/25.
Funding settlements for emergency services over the next three years will be set out in June’s Spending Review.
