Text
The independent Fiscal Council made clear that for us to deliver health and social care services on a par with England would require our budget to go up to £104 to £107 for every £100 spent by NHS England.
In fact, the Appleby report said that, if we were to include social care, we would need £109 for every £100 that NHS England spends. That is the comparator to get to where the Member wants NHS Northern Ireland, as it were, to get to. The draft Budget for next year puts us at £101·05, so it will not be possible to achieve what the Member wants.
