Ahead of the important public spending decisions that will be taken by government in the months ahead, we are highlighting trusts’ needs for a properly-funded and well-designed system of capital funding.

This briefing sets out:

• why there is a problem with NHS capital funding
• what needs to be done to address the problem
• the positive impact that addressing the problem will have.
