The NHS in Bradford and Airedale will get an extra £25 million to provide services for patients in 2012-13, the Government has announced.

Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said Bradford and Airedale Teaching Primary Care Trust will get a revenue allocation of £931,917,000 for 2012-13 – up 2.8 per cent.

A total of £91.6 billion will go direct to Primary Care Trusts in England, an increase of £2.5 billion.

The Government says the investment in the NHS represents a real-term increase in health spending and shows its determination to ensure that patients have access to high quality local NHS services – a significant step given the difficult economic climate.
