Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether funding for the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan is coming from his Department's existing budgets.

Answer

The Government is backing the plan with over £2.4 billion over the next five years to fund additional education and training places. This is on top of increases to education and training investment, reaching a record £6.1 billion over the next two years.

The education and training budget for 2024-25 was set at the last Spending Review and the Government is working with NHS England to finalise the budget to make sure it reflects recent pay deals.
