About Sectors Categories of Spend Social Value Get in Touch Submit Requirement Login Register Health & Social Care Planned spending for the Department of Health and Social Care in England is £140.4 billion in 2019/20. The majority (£133.3 billion) of this is revenue funding for spending on day-to-day items such as staff salaries and medicines. The remainder (£7.1 billion) is for capital spending on buildings and equipment, which are longer term investments. Though funding for the Department of Health and Social Care continues to grow, the rate of growth slowed during the period of austerity that followed the 2008 economic crash. Budgets rose by just 1.4 per cent each year on average (adjusting for inflation) in the 10 years between 2009/10 to 2018/19. The growth in demand for health and social care is outstripping supply and ongoing budget constraints mean that greater return on investment is needed across health and social care in the UK. One of the ways this is done is through reforming the system to ensure there are greater patient/user outcomes for every pound put into the system. We are also facing a skills shortage across health and social care with the public sector looking to private sector organisations to work alongside their workforce to deliver care. Our professional services solutions for health and social care does not just cover the coal face of clinical care; it covers every aspect of the NHS industry, from ICT to facilities management, we have it all covered. Working with central NHS services such as NHS Property Services, NHS Digital and NHS Business Services Authority means we truly understand the challenges facing the NHS and the need for greater transparency around spend and return on investment. We are proud to deliver outcomes on behalf of the NHS, allowing funds to be better utilised on improved patient care.
