NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde: spending in cash and in 2025-26 prices, £ million

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.

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.

Where this sits: Health, United Kingdom → Health, Scotland → NHS Scotland health boards → NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. Figures from data/services/nhs.json, generated 29 September 2026.
