NHS Devon: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of planned changes to funding for NHS services in Devon on (a) health inequalities and (b) funding for public health programmes.

Answer

NHS Devon’s financial planning aligns with the NHS England planning round. The integrated care board is developing detailed commissioning intentions to allocate resources in line with its five-year Health and Care Strategy.

This strategy prioritises tackling health inequalities through targeted prevention, integrated neighbourhood care, and population health management.

Funding for local authority public health programmes is not affected by changes to NHS Devon’s internal budget allocations.
