NEW: Four big decisions for the 2025 Spending Review Bee Boileau Ben Zaranko and Max Warner explain why tough choices will be unavoidable at the upcoming Spending Review in our new briefing: ifs.org.uk/articles/four-…

We have a new Institute for Fiscal Studies report out on the key decisions for the govt at the upcoming Spending Review. A short thread on what the Spending Review could mean for health spending – and why health spending matters so much for everything else. 1/12

If we look at past Spending Reviews, health has long done well – between SR 1998 and SR 2015, on average, the day-to-day health budget was planned to grow at 3.5% per year, while the overall day-to-day budget was planned to grow at 1.5% per year. 4/12

After defence commitments and the Barnett formula, giving DHSC 2.5% per year in real-terms would leave no real-terms increases for other areas. 3.4% per year for DHSC (closer to the long-run average) would imply 1% cuts per year in real-terms for everything else. 9/12
