Exclusive: Capital billions promised by ministers fail to reach 'front line'

Exclusive: Capital billions promised by ministers fail to reach 'front line' Only a fraction of the £2.5bn of capital funding announced and allocated by the government for the NHS since 2017 has actually been released to the service.

Research by HSJ suggests less than £100m has been distributed to local providers over the last two years – equating to just 3 per cent of the total funding listed in several headline-grabbing media announcements.

The findings are supported by data in published Department of Health and Social Care accounts. Health Service Journal
