What is the short version?

Four health services: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each run their own, with their own budgets and targets.
Per head, like for like: each nation’s spending divided by its own population.
Down to your health body: integrated care boards in England, local health boards in Wales and health boards in Scotland each have a page.

Over the longest run published: cash, real terms and per head

Health, United Kingdom: spending in cash and in 2025-26 prices, £ billion

Real terms use HM Treasury’s GDP deflator, 2025-26 prices. Breaks in the series: 2019-20: Wales: Bridgend moved from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg to Cwm Taf on 1 April 2019, forming Swansea Bay and Cwm Taf Morgannwg university health boards; their series start then. 2020-21: Health spending from 2020-21 to 2022-23 includes Covid-19 testing, vaccines and other pandemic costs. 2022-23: England: integrated care boards replaced clinical commissioning groups on 1 July 2022. 2023-24: England: Health Education England merged into NHS England on 1 April 2023 (DHSC core tables). 2026-27: England: 42 ICBs became 36 on 1 April 2026 after mergers. The allocations restate 2025-26 on the new boundaries; waiting-list figures by ICB start in April 2026. 2026-27: England: the government announced in March 2025 that NHS England would be merged into DHSC; later PESA editions and DHSC accounts may present its budget differently. 2026-27: Scotland: NHS Education for Scotland and NHS National Services Scotland merged into NHS Delivery on 1 April 2026.

Spending per resident by nation, 2024-25

Each nation is divided by its own population, so the figures compare like for like. England-only and UK-wide spending are never added together here.

Each nation’s health service

Day-to-day spending pays for staff, drugs and running services; capital pays for buildings and equipment. Staff and emergency department waits are each nation’s own published figures: the four count them differently, so the rows are side by side, not a ranking.

A&E: seen within four hours

With a keyboard: tab to the map, then use the arrow keys to move between areas, Enter to pick one, and + or − to zoom.

The map covers the whole UK. Where the nations publish the same measure, they share one scale. Where they publish different ones, each nation is shaded against its own measure on its own scale, named in its own part of the legend, and the nations cannot be compared with each other. Where a nation publishes nothing for a measure, the map says so and links to what it publishes instead. Pick an area for its figures and a link to its page.

Every one of the health bodies, on each measure on the map England: A&E attendances within four hours, departments in the board’s area, 2026-08. Scotland: A&E and minor injury attendances within four hours, by board of treatment, 2026-07. Wales: Emergency care attendances within four hours, 2026-08. Northern Ireland: Emergency care attendances within four hours, by trust, 2026-06. The nations’ figures are different measures and are not directly comparable.

What each measure counts

Waiting under 18 weeks (England)

The share of incomplete RTT pathways with a known clock start that had been waiting 18 weeks or less at the end of the month. Each nation measures this differently, so it is never compared across nations. Target: 92% within 18 weeks (NHS Constitution standard).
Waiting list per 1,000 residents (England)

The RTT waiting list divided by ONS mid-year residents of the local authorities the ICB mainly covers (the latest estimate for the month's calendar year). Residents, not GP-registered patients. Each nation measures this differently, so it is never compared across nations.
A&E: seen within four hours (Scotland)

Attendances at emergency departments and minor injury units that ended within four hours of arrival, as a share of all attendances, in the month, by the NHS board of treatment (Public Health Scotland). Each nation measures this differently, so it is never compared across nations. Target: 95% within four hours (Scottish Government standard).
Emergency departments: within four hours (Wales)

Patients spending less than four hours in all emergency care facilities (major emergency departments and minor injury units) from arrival to admission, transfer or discharge, as a share of all attendances, in the month, by local health board. Each nation measures this differently, so it is never compared across nations. Target: 95% within four hours (Welsh Government target).

What people say about it

Does the NHS need more money, or better use of what it has?

Those who say the NHS needs more funding

It still falls short of average increases we've seen in health spending historically, and of the investment needed to fulfil the NHS workforce plan. Dr Latifa Patel, chair of the BMA representative body, British Medical Association (11 June 2025)
But while capital budgets are being shown to increase, they do so by nowhere near enough to rebuild or replace the tired facilities and equipment on which large parts of the NHS currently rely, nor to develop the new hospitals and community facilities needed to deliver a modernised health service. Sarah Woolnough, chief executive, The King's Fund (12 June 2025) King's Fund press release as republished by Wired-Gov (the King's Fund site blocks automated fetches).
For context, a 3% real terms rise in revenue budgets sits some way above average rises in health spending since 2010 (most notably the 2010-15 period where growth was consistently below 2%), however it still falls short of the long-term real terms average growth in health spending (3.7%). NHS Providers (on-the-day briefing) (11 June 2025) The organisation's own analysis, not a named person. nhsproviders.org now redirects to thenhsalliance.org.

Those who say productivity and reform matter more than extra money

They agree with the central argument we made at the last general election that investment must be matched with reform. Wes Streeting MP (Labour), Health and Social Care Secretary, Department of Health and Social Care (13 November 2024) Speech to the NHS Providers annual conference.
For me, the path we must take is obvious. We must build a more productive state, not a bigger one. Victoria Atkins MP (Conservative), then Health and Social Care Secretary, Department of Health and Social Care (7 March 2024)
Throwing more money at broken systems without serious reform won't fix the problem. It just locks in failure at a higher cost. Darwin Friend, TaxPayers' Alliance (11 June 2025) Written about the Spending Review as a whole, including the NHS settlement.

What these figures do and don't show

Each nation runs its own NHS. Budgets, targets and waiting-time measures differ between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so performance is compared within a nation, never across them.
Allocations are not spending. An integrated care board’s allocation is what it is given to plan and buy care; outturn is what was spent. They are labelled and never added together.
Per head needs a named denominator. Figures here divide by ONS resident population; the NHS’s own per-head figures often use GP-registered patients, which run higher.
Covid years are different. Health spending from 2020-21 to 2022-23 includes testing, vaccines and protective equipment.
Nothing here shows cause and effect. Money, staff and waiting times are shown side by side; demand, age and ill-health differ between areas.
