00:01Fixing our NHS also means delivering fundamental reform across social care, which means that

00:07we are backing the first ever fair payer agreement for that sector.

00:12And I am increasing the NHS technology budget by almost 50 per cent, and we are investing

00:17£10 billion to bring our analogue health system into the digital age, including through

00:23the NHS app, so patients can manage their prescriptions, get their test results and

00:28book appointments all in one place.

00:31We are shifting care back to the community, providing more funding to support the training

00:36of thousands more GPs to deliver millions more appointments.

00:41We are investing more in prevention to meet our manifesto commitment of providing mental

00:46health support teams in all schools in England by the end of this Parliament.

00:52These investments will enable the delivery of our upcoming 10-year plan for health and

00:57put the NHS firmly back on the path to renewal.

01:02And to support that plan, to back the doctors and nurses that we rely on, and to make sure

01:08that the NHS is there whenever we need it, I am proud to announce today that this Labour

01:14Government is making a record cash investment in our National Health Service, increasing real

01:20terms day-to-day spending by 3 per cent per year for every single year of this spending review.

01:26An extra £29 billion per year for the day-to-day running of our health service.
