Government gives the Department of Health a £600 MILLION bailout The Government's Treasury department has given the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) a £600million bailout to cover 'unforeseen' costs.
Spending estimates published by the Treasury describe the money as 'reserve funding to cover one-off pressures'.
Analysts believe the DHSC was in danger of breaching its budget of almost £125bn, which could lead to a parliamentary vote on whether extra cash should be given.
The rising cost of generic drugs and preparations for Brexit are thought to have stretched the DHSC – which 'acts as guardians of the health and care framework' – more than normal. The Daily Mail
