About this dashboard

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has set up a national programme budget project to develop a primary source of information.

This can be used by all bodies, to give a better understanding of NHS expenditure.

The Department of Health and Social Care’s website has more detailed information.

The national programme budget project aims to map some £50bn of NHS expenditure into, currently, 23 programmes of care. Examples of these include:

• infectious diseases

• cancer

• blood disorders

• mental health problems

• coronary heart disease

• problems of the skin

• falls and problems due to trauma and injuries

Data Services provides information about all English commissioner and provider prescribing expenditure, broken down amongst the 23 categories.
