The Government’s 10 Year Capital Plan for Health and Social Care, published on Wednesday 8 July, brings together the Government’s existing health capital commitments into a single framework aligned with the 10-Year Health Plan.

Capital funding allocations for specific programmes were confirmed through the 2025 Spending Review and subsequently set out in the 2026/27 to 2029/30 NHS Capital Guidance, which is available at the following link:

The guidance set out a new balance between national control and regional autonomy, giving regions a lead role in strategic estates planning and delivery oversight, with many capital funding allocations being made at a regional level. This gives increased scope for capital to be targeted at specific priority services according to local need.
