Jonathan Reynolds – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jonathan Reynolds on 2015-09-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what additional financial support he is making available to the NHS to help it deal with winter pressures.

Mr Jeremy Hunt

£400 million in resilience money has been invested in the National Health Service for winter 2015-16. Learning from previous years, we have put this money into the NHS baseline for 2015-16 so that the NHS can plan effectively at local level for the long-term and take earlier action to tackle the symptoms of seasonal pressures.

There will be no further additional money for the NHS ahead of winter.
