On the day briefing: autumn statement

This on the day briefing follows publication of the autumn statement. It summarises the key announcements made by the chancellor and presents our view on the settlement overall.

There were no announcements specific to the Department of Health or its budget, or the budgets of any of the arm's length bodies, however a number of announcements have wider implications for NHS providers.

We are disappointed that the call for additional funding for social care and primary care was not met, despite the degree of consensus on this issue.
