NHS to get £30bn as other services squeezed in review

The Department for Health and Social Care is set to get the biggest settlement in the government's spending review next week, while other areas will face cuts.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves will argue that Labour is investing in health, security and the economy, according to The Times.

Under the review, the Department of Health’s day-to-day budget is expected to increase by 2.8 per cent annually over three years. This equates to a cash increase of £30bn by 2028, or £17bn in real terms. However, the department’s capital spending budget is expected to rise only in line with inflation.
